Coravin by the glass. Aromas of blackberry, baker’s chocolate, earth and dried herbs. Black fruit, chocolate, herbs, earth and a hint of cinnamon on the palate. Good persistence. Medium to full bodied. Served with grilled pork chops.

Shame on me! I did not recall, or check on CT to know that I had just opened a bottle of this fabulous wine back at the end of April.
Well... This bottle was every bit as fabulous as the bottle opened in April! If you have any bottles, I would suggest they are only going to get even better with a few more years!

Oh my! So good and such a great value! this was a "just park you nose inside the glass for a bit before you taste it" kind of wine. The nose was fabulous and inviting. The best word I can come up with to describe this wine is "hedonistic." Wonderful depth of flavors, well integrated, no perceptible 'heat.' Long finish. Oh my!
Decanted for 1.5 hours. There were probably ten bottles of wine at this party from various CA producers, but this Carlisle was the consensus favorite!

Total Carlisle fan but my fam loved this more than me. Tasted like a Zin - and not the Mourvèdre I was expecting. My perception is probably tainted by my love of Bandol, so I’ll not be harsh.
