2/19/24, 8:18 PM - 85? That rating does seem to fit with your description. I just had this Cab in 2024 and it was spectacular. I have one more bottle, and I may save it 3-5 more years.
12/8/22, 6:41 PM - Thanks. It was great fun. What would you call such a tasting?
5/15/22, 4:12 PM - And they say modest wines aren’t worth aging. So glad I saved a bottle. So wish I had more.
10/11/21, 5:30 PM - Yes. I have a PDF of a spreadsheet with all of the scores. If I can figure out how to put it into CT I will. I did post the results in a tasting note on each of the 16 wines.
7/26/21, 6:59 PM - Thanks for your note. When I first tasted it, I too was a little concerned that it was off, but after 90 minutes it continued to open up and evolve. 3 hours later it was fabulous.
7/22/21, 6:55 PM - Yes. White pepper was the spice I didn’t ID. You nailed it.
10/27/20, 4:35 PM - I’ve waited 9 years, and it has gotten even better. I’m saving my last bottle for 2025+
10/27/20, 4:33 PM - I’m thrilled to have two bottles. Well, now one. Enjoy!
9/6/20, 3:05 PM - Took this wine to a party last night. PnP. WOTN. Aged beautifully.

5/28/20, 1:48 PM - This bottle was from a pair. Carlisle sold matching cork bottle and screw top bottle together. I tried at 5 & 10 years and couldn’t tell the difference. I have one set left for 2022 or 2027.

5/16/20, 6:41 AM - Unfortunately, most CT users don’t change the drinking window after they post a note. You read the texts and the wine has 4 years left, but the indow has already expired. We all need to take the time to change the window.
4/27/20, 10:14 AM - I’m with you. There is nothing I like better than a well-made Zin with 8-12 years on it. Great, subtle flavors.
11/21/15, 5:04 PM - This is another example of how wines change with a few extra years in the cellar. Four years later it is much more interesting.
1/22/15, 10:42 AM - No. First, there were no unpleasant odors to blow off; the aroma was fine. Even so, I thought aggressive decanting of the early-drinking 2009 would give the wine its best chance for me to like it. It didn't work. To my pallet, there was an extreme level of minerality which took it to the level of medicine.
3/3/14, 7:43 PM - Rated 85 but was a "great bottle" and was "one of the best my dinner companions had ever tasted." IMO, the number is too low and the prose to high.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
