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. — 6 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

Mike Officer wanted to create a blend that represents the 3 unique old vine vineyards in the Piner-Olivet crossing of the Russian River Valley. This is the first vintage and what a success. This is just insanely good and represents everything there is to love in RR zin. A field blend of everything from all 3 vineyards it’s rich and lush, full of black fruits but balanced by acidity and never heavy and not clocking above 15%. A real show of great terroir, old vines, and fine winemaking. — 8 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

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. — 8 years ago

At the end of its storage life, but still a delicious choice. Nicely balanced fruit & fragrance, smooth tannins, good body. — 9 years ago
