  December 6, 2023 - Crimson in color. 15% ABV. Sublime nose of red fruits, licorice, citrus and mint. Medium body with mouth watering acidity. Well balanced with supple, tart fruits. Cherry, blood orange, strawberry and pepper on the palate. Nice length on the finish. Not generally what I expect from Carlisle with the tart fruits as opposed to bright, juicy fruits. Delicious nonetheless. Best over the next 1-2 years.

  December 4, 2023 - Light in body for a Carlisle Zin, but very tasty. Went very well with beef kabobs.

  January 2, 2023 - Open for business and I am here for it. Full body, med-lo tannin, highish acid. Round and opulent with bark berry brambles, floral-spicy notes. Med alcohol presence on the finish and a bit on the nose. Feels complete and was a pleasure to drink.

  December 16, 2022 - This is much better than my last bottle I wouldn’t think a year would make much of a difference so I’m assuming it is more related to the fact that had Covid last year and was maybe still recovering my sense of taste? Anyways nose of bramble with some dark cherry, on tge palate get dark fruits, blackberry and dark cherry has a bit of Bordeaux character, hint of vanilla, mildly tannic, surprisingly acidic for a zin though would only characterize as moderate at most, has a dense mouthfeel which is again more Bordeaux like, had a lengthy finish, this was quite nice and I wish I had more.
