  July 5, 2023 - Opened, poured and let sit about 45 min. Then: Nose maybe faint darkish fruit. Taste is black/blue fruit, but at lesss-than-moderate intensity, maybe a touch over-ripe; alcohol a bit noticeable; decent finish, but at a low level of fruit; not much spice; very minimal zin profile. Acidity could be a bit higher; tannins mostly not noticeable, but gets a little bit grippy/chalky on the finish; soft mouthfeel. A drinkable red wine, but not a good example of a zin at this point. I wouldn't wait much longer to drink these.

  May 3, 2023 - Another fascinating side-by-side. 2015 Bedrock Monte Rosso vs. 2015 Carlisle Monte Rosso. Identical glasses. Slow ox in glass 45-60 minutes.
  
  The Bedrock was a slight favorite - classically built and structured, with briary raspberry and blackberry fruit with notes of roasted herbs and smoke on the nose. Well balanced tannins and finesse on the finish. Reminded me of a classic Ridge Geyserville. 92+
  
  The Carlisle came across as riper, more decadent and rich with plums, black raspberry, baking spices and a bit of oak on the nose. Savory and plummy on the large palate with some black pepper and licorice. Slightly more prominent oak and tannins on the finish, but still well structured. This wine opened up/calmed down considerably after another hour making me wonder if it should have been decanted... 91-92. If tasted blind I would have guessed this was Turley, not Carlisle.
  
  A fascinating comparison of styles!!

  March 23, 2023 - Black and blue fruit. Nice balance with integrated tannins. Perfect pairing with some smash burgers. Holding, but I would drink up if I had anymore.
