An exceedingly smooth, luxurious wine. Deep garnet color. It has a kind of glycerine sweetness on entry, with a solid fruit core — almost like Jell-O. There is a fine acid edge which gives it backbone but also emphasizes its glassy quality. Rhubarb and cherry flavors dominate and echo in the finish. there’s a pleasant, subtle tannic presence on the back of the tongue. Hard to imagine this improving with more time, but it’s well-built and will last a while.

Aging beautifully…the Dehlinger wines are consistently flavorful with a great QPR

Deep ruby color with ripe berries on the nose-Gobs of fruit evident on the palate-well balanced with medium tannins.
