Delicious wine from an outstanding producer. Dark purple with a glycerine rim, spicy plum and cherries on the nose and delicious, juicy peppery dark fruits on the palate. A nicely balanced wine, but very rich and deep as well. Carlisle continues to impress me with outstanding wines, at fair prices. I only wish I had bought more.

Excellent wine, excellent QPR. Not sure when I've ever had abetter wine for $16. Dark purple with glycerin edge. Dark berries, and spice on the nose. On the taste I got more dark berries, dark chocolate, and more spice. Very tasty stuff!

Had this at a restaurant/wine shop for $29.00. $19.00 is the shop's retail price. What?!?! His is crazy good for the price. Nice and dark with a nose of smoke, meat, and dark fruits. Tastes of dark fruits and spice. I had is with short ribs and it was delicious! Im not sure you can do better for 29.00 on a restaurant wine list.
