97 points Jeb Dunnuck"A more brooding and dark profile emerges in the 2021 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge, revealing notes of black cherry, resinous pine sap, and freshly toasted sage. Full-bodied, with ripe tannins, blackberry, violets, and crushed...

97 points Vinous"The 2021 Syrah Estate Vineyard is magnificent. What a wine. Silky and yet powerful, the 2021 is supremely well-balanced. Dark blue/purplish fruit, sage, mint, lavender and black pepper open over time, but what is most impressive about...

95 points Wine Enthusiast"Dark, intense and juicy aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, violet and black pep- per fire up the amazing nose of this bottling. The palate is vibrant with acidity and layered in a fascinating texture, combining flavors of...

96 points Vinous"The 2021 Zinfandel Piner-Olivet is another fabulous wine in this range. It brings together so many of the elements that make the Carlisle wines so compelling. Dense and succulent, the 2021 races across the palate, showing notable...

98 points James Suckling"Phenomenal aromas of crushed berries, forest fruit, mushrooms and iron. Medium to full body, with layers of soft and refined tannins that follow through to a beautiful finish. Extremely long and refined. This shows depth and...

91 points Wine Spectator"A linear white, with good drive and focus to flavors of Mandarin orange, wild strawberry, grated ginger and fresh tarragon. Though svelte in form, there's a light, pleasing plushness to texture, working well with the...

92 points Wine & Spirits"This is a new winery launched by the team at Heitz, led by Carlton McCoy, Jr., whose background as a sommelier took this chardonnay in a fresh, savory direction. The wine is made by Brittany Sherwood, who sources fruit...

94 points James Suckling"Quite an exotic nose with hints of Thai basil coming through. Quite a firmly structured wine, the restrained citrus and berry fruit carrying this very harmonious dry riesling that has a wonderful interplay of fruit, lees...
