2017 Carlisle "Papa's Block" Russian River Valley Syrah
98 points Jeb Dunnuck

Another wine that blew me away in the lineup, the 2017 Syrah Papa's Block comes from the Russian River Valley and is 100% Syrah that saw 20% stems and 24% new French oak. Its deep purple color is followed by extraordinary notes of blue fruits, liquid violets, lavender, ground pepper, and some background meatiness. This quintessential California Syrah offers full-bodied richness, building sweet tannins, incredible purity of fruit, and a finish that won’t quit. It’s going to be up there with some of the finest wines from California in the vintage! Bravo.

I've had some decent PG stuff and I've had some stuff that was a little rough. How was that?

Wife opened something else so this went on the rack for now.

Hot days call for rose

 

[jbarwick]

SommSelect has Easkoot Pinot Noir Rose for $22/btl and also Gramercy Cellars Cab for $52/btl.

Mix and match to get yourself a 6 pack and shipping is free.

 

[Omega Male]

The rosé is dynamite. I also had an Easkoot Pinot a few weeks back that was really tasty.

 

[NJE66]

Speaking of dynamite. 98 RP/WA points with a expected drinking window of 3-4 decades. But I sucks and have butchered maybe six already. A terrific Rhône syrah.

Is this wine good? Ask me again when I've finished it in 30.

 

[Omega Male]

I'll take the under.

Wife drank most of the above while binging "Outer Banks". Hopefully all those hot, shirtless teens will put her in the mood for bumping uglies by the time I've finished the below.

i'm late to the wine game. i decided to buy a bottle of cru beaujolais after laughing at somm 2 in a wine bar last year. i've been hitting it hard since but that's still the only region i've tried. my favorite thing about quarantine has been the lack of existential crisis over whether i'm ******* up the "taste this tiny pour before i pour the rest of the bottle" etiquette, and i am sure that is the least relatable contribution i have made to any thread on this here website.

anyway, i enjoyed tonight's:

Love Morgon and Beaujolais is a cool go to region. Are you planning to expand and look in to other wines?
