Last bottle I opened was dead. This one was alive and kicking. One of the best bottles of Carlisle I've had, and I've had a lot. Not sure all bottles will be the same though, like I said, last one was toast.

clear, maroon, in color. dark black fruit, cedar, caramel, on the nose. salt, pepper, vanilla, oak, toast, smoke, blackberry, on the palate. low-medium acid, medium tannins, on the finish.

Another impressive showing. This wine is in a great spot. Similar notes as last time with a little more of a Rhone profile. A great Cali Rhone. Too bad it was my last bottle.

One of my least favorite Carlisles but a decent QPR. Joan on the other hand liked it.

Quick TN. The grenache predominated but the mouvedre gave it some mild funk with the syrah filling it out. Drinking very well - no noticeable heat.
