Tried these over the last few days:

Carlisle TheDerivative f'(x) WW (13.9%; 67% Semillom/33% Muscadelle; 310 cs) 2020: Light gold color; strong waxy/Semillon/figgy/green olive slight earthy/dusty light floral/carnations quite attractive youthful Semillon nose; quite tart/tangy/bit metallic strong figgy/Semillon/waxy/green olive lightly floral/gardenia bit light flavor; very long strong youthful/Semillon/green olive/figgy/waxy light floral/gardenias finish; a bit lean/wiry youthful Semillon that needs 2-6 yrs of age; a bit on the primary side right now. $25.00

2. Carlisle GrunerVeltliner SteinerVnyd/SonomaMtn/SonomaCnty (13.9%; 250 cs) 2018: Med.gold color; beautiful very fragrant GV/white pepper/gardenias/floral quite spicy slight mineral/earthy rather aromatic nose; fairly tart/tangy/bit metallic fairly slightly rich/lush strong GV/white pepper/floral/gardenias slight earthy/chalky/mineral bit complex lovely flavor; very long lightly tart strong GV/white pepper/floral light chalky/mineral some complex finish; starting to lose some of its lush floral GV fruit & showing more earthy/mineral character w/ more complexity; probably ready to drink up; quite a lovely evolving GV.

More grissastitt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I was a bit surprised at how fast the GV was moving along in its evolution. At release, it had loads of ripe GV fruit character and I thought it was of a smaargd level of quality and would live quite a long time. But it's lost some of that lush fruit & ripeness and has developed more minerality than I expected from it. Still...it's quite a good GV & I think Mike makes the best GV in Calif.
