Richer, darker, more complex than Goldridge. Red cherries are prominent with background darker fruits. Long finish. Two hour decant. Still young in this format, can make another ten years easily.

Deep garnet color with no apparent oxidation. Sweet nose of crushed red fruit and spice. Soft profile. Medium body. Blackberry, boysenberry, cranberry, cherry with just a trace of spicy oak. Tannins fully resolved and integrated. Overall, balanced and elegant though not particularly complex or exciting. Fully mature but should hold short term.

Ditto comments from last year. May be one of the best of the Dehlinger lineup, as it’s more balanced and lower in alcohol.

We received this bottle as a gift. First time to try this wine. Excellent with mature RRV fruit and good structure. Would buy again if available.
