For a wine that is supposedly 4 years beyond its drinking window this was absolutely delicious. Yes, the fruit is mature, but it there plenty of fruit there. Quite elegant. If properly cellared I would say fear not, this wine is in perfectly good shape.

As always, another amazing wine from the Dehlinger Family....a CA Pinot at 12 yrs! You always worry about drinking a CA Pinot older than 8yrs but of the 4 'old' bottles of Dehlinger I have gulped over the past 3 months, only one was flat. This one is so well balanced nose/acidity/fruit/mouthfeel/alcohol/finish that there is not much to say. Always a fan. Glad I have another 12 Dehlingers coming next week!

This pinot has held up very well, hasn't lost any of its fruit and still has adequate acidity. Fairly simple but delicious at the same time.

Consumed at party. Still showing very well at 12 years--ah, Dehlinger. Ripe and rich with acid balance.
