  Still deep ruby in color, this medium-bodied Pinot remains effusive of black and red fruits that are accented with mulling spices, smoke, cocoa and leather. The oak and tannins have fully integrated and the alcohol (14.9%) continues to fly under the radar. Solid in the middle and long on the finish, this has aged very little since last being tasted 12/8/2021; it will last longer than previously projected. Popped and poured, only thirty minutes of air was required for this bottle to fully strut its stuff. Drink now-2030.

  Ruby red in color. 14.9% ABV. Pretty nose of red fruits, cloves and flowers. Medium body with nice acidity. Light, elegant and incredibly refined. Cherry, cranberry, pomegranate and earth on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish. Soft, supple Pinot Noir that is absolutely delicious. Best over the next 2-4 years.

  Just too good to not drink another bottle. Just phenomenal wine making here. Finesse to create such a flavorful Pinot with cola, spice and dark berries but with a sexy balanced body to match.
  
  So good. Drink or hold.

  Opaque black cherry color with scarlet at the rim, giving way to blood orange. The nose is a deep tunnel of black and red fruits, that are concentrated, almost candied.
  The velvety and viscous mouthfeel conveys vivid, dense fruit, with supportive acidity, tannin, and the hefty 14.9% alcohol by volume. The brilliant yet opulent flavors persist throughout the stages of palate appreciation, and linger on the long finish.
  Tom Dehlinger manages to create, through expert farming and winemaking skills, a California Pinot Noir that combines the finesse of a grand cru Burgundy with the depth of warm climate grown grapes.
  A true Master of Vinification.
