Wow. Amazingly wonderful- still - at 17 years young. Tannins and fruits still doing their jobs in harmony. An excellent example of this varietal -done by this legendary producer. — 4 years ago

Chewy, cloudy, ripe and smooth as a baby’s butt! zoom tasting with Mike Officer. Asian spice and dark berry notes...tannin and alcohol totally integrated. Worked well with teriyaki salmon and pickled cucumbers. Apart from crumbly dry corks... I love my Carlisles with 12-15 years of age. Thanks Mike... for your passion and life spent chasing the dream of old vine fruit! — 6 years ago

Agree with @romo and @Steve Anderson this is a beautiful Gruner. Maybe the best in CA. — 6 years ago

Morgan T-P's version is usually a fraction better, but this is nonetheless a lovely white blend. — 8 years ago

Amazing body balances substantial but not excessive fruit. Works very nicely with a friend's New Zealand cheddar. — 9 years ago

Wow. A powerhouse with finesse. A nose of freshly picked blackberries and chocolate pie. Glides along the palate effortlessly revealing blackberry, chocolate ganache, and pepper flavors. Lush and full-bodied. Super silky tannins with a long, loamy finish. Really impressive effort. I love this winery and this is a perfect example why. — 8 years ago

Classic Carlisle extraction. Beautiful nose of black raspberry, Bing cherry, licorice and cardamom infused with a bit of smokiness. Well integrated palate that echoes the nose, with a long fruit-driven finish underscored by tobacco. Well balanced for drinking now and should age well for another five years. — 9 years ago

Carlisle stuff is so well-crafted. Great smoke & rich berry. Beautiful blueberry nose. Easily could sit another 3-5yrs. — 5 years ago

Opens with a spicy black currant, plum, and cracked pepper nose. Heavy and round in the mouth, leading to a long sweet finish, with nice mid-palete acidity. The Mourvèdre is very expressive. — 5 years ago

The ‘16 is just a stupid good value. Teldeschi Ranch Zin with a spike of 15% Petite Sirah. It’s big and beautiful, yet refined and classy. Everything you could ask for in a Carlisle appellation that drinks like an awesome SV. — 7 years ago

Supposedly at the end of its optimal drinking window, this wine was more subtle than I expected, but still delicious with the Parmesan/cheddar cheese I had with it. — 8 years ago

Makes my knees weak. Young and slightly chewy at first sip, with luscious boysenberry fruit. Better second day and will improve at minimum 3-5 years — 9 years ago
