1996 Dehlinger Syrah

is this syrah really 13 years old? The acidity is bracing, and perfect for food. Fantastic green olive notes on the nose and a wonderful bright cherry and smoked meat element. I think on it's own the acidity is a bit overpowering.... This could go... 10 more years? Just my opinion...

1995 Dehlinger Pinot Noir Estate

brilliant 14 yr old CA Pinot! Dehlinger continues to amaze me with the aging potential of their wines. This wine had an ever so slight hint of bricking at the edges, and was a touch cloudy. Upon opening, i poured straight into the glass, and it had a wonderful nose of sweet dark cherries, rose petal, and a little bit of barnyard "funk" that I don't normally associate with CA pinot but more with Burgundy. The palate was smooth, with well integrated alcohol, tannins, and fruit. It did start to die after 3 hours, and it kind of turned into a pruney mess. With that said, drink these while you have them!!
