Thursday, July 19, 2018 - Straight up bliss in a bottle.
This is actually one of my favorite Carlisle. Never have I experienced such intensity and purity from this producer (mind that I have tasted various vintages of Petit Sirah and Papas block from Mike).
This, I would never have guessed Russian river on a blinder.. I had Northern Rhone all the way - this is major. WOW.
Intense rich fruit and body with some great earthy, mineral and dry notes. Great raspberry and blackberries. Incredible.
Should be at maturity in five years time.
