93 Points - Wine Spectator:  Brambly and dynamic, with tiers of appealing black cherry, briar patch and green peppercorn accents that finish with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2035.

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:  A dark red color, the Carlisle 2023 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley is deeper on the nose with mocha, candied flowers, crushed berries, mint, and vanilla bean aromatics. The palate has the most ripeness and richness, a more immediate feel in the range, and a more opulent though well-managed sensation. Drink over the coming 5-7 years.
