April 28, 2024 - Decanted for two hours. Really nice complexity and depth with mix of fruit and spices. Continued to improve over the next hour. Great lingering finish.

March 8, 2024 - PnP. Nose of blueberry, boysenberry, and oak with a hint of pine sap and maple wood. Dusty blackberry palate with pine cone, mint, and fleshy cherry. Firm tannins, oak, black cherry, cola, and a sharp rhubarb note and damp earth but the finish seems a bit dilute.

November 25, 2023 - Crazy good. Wine Spectator was spot on with their 95 rating. Carlisle continues to produce the best Zin. "Polished" and complex rather than a fruit bomb, and without the pepper and usual over hipness of many Zins. Opened a half hour before guests arrived and then another hours before paring with the braised short ribs. Perfect combination...better pairing than the Venge Bone Ash (always one of my favorites) and the other two couples agreed as well. Can see where folks who expect the big ripe fruit would find this lacking but I thought it excellent.
