  Opened the first of three last night with grilled Tenderloin. Wonderful mature cab. Perfect balance of dark fruits, earth and smoke. Tannin smooth. This wine is drinking beautifully right now. Drink or hold. Dehlinger is a class act.

  Wedding Week; 8/16/2017-8/20/2017 (Fremont, CA): Briefer than usual impressions: This flipped from my last taste. From my previous experience, I liked the Claret better, but this time the Cab had less obvious oak, though still modern styled. Overall well balanced. A great party wine, as everyone loved the style and recognized the producer, but perhaps not what I would drink on a regular basis. 89

  Dark fruit, spice and a leather finish that goes on and on. This is a massive showing from Sonoma. A complex palate, with tannins largely resolved. Has wonderful balance, depth and complexity with plenty of life remaining, but drinking near peak. Decant generously and enjoy!

  Spicy black currant and cedar on the nose. Rich with fairly astringent tannins, velvety mouth feel and long finish.
