  April 4, 2021 - From the cellar of my father-in-law who recently passed away. Fond memories, a well-balanced, juicy, fruit forward low tannin wine. Perfect with Easter ham on the patio.

  March 11, 2021 - Crimson in color. 14.9% ABV. Riveting nose of red fruits, cloves, sarsaparilla and damp forest floor. Medium body with perfect acidity. Tremendous purity of fruit. Concentration rarely found in an 11 year old Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Cherry, strawberry, baking spice and earth on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Expectations were high and showed even better than I would have expected. Best over the next 3-5 years.

  April 19, 2020 - PnP. Medium deep red. Long "legs". Red fruited nose - especially red apple and strawberry; little spiciness, Medium weight on the palate no rough edges, flavors echo the nose. Medium finish. Has matured nicely and shows that the Dehlinger wines which tend to be big and boisterous in their youth develop some finesse w age. Very good showing and last bottle

  February 22, 2020 - This was beautiful. Lively and integrated. Lots of fruit on nose and palate. Long finish. I did not like the previous bottle at all. Now I am thinking it may have been ruined.

  December 20, 2019 - Simply fabulous. Vibrant and mature. One of the better Pinot Noirs in my experience but we are huge Dehlinger fans.
