Dehlinger Claret

Dehlinger Winery

Altamont Syrah 2018

2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 45 minutes and 1.25 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body. Dropped the overt weight and starting to get more chiseled. The usual fruit and spice suspects without surprises. Would love to hit this in 8-10 years. Too well-balanced currently so it will be a difficult task to accomplish. 01.16.26. — 18 days ago

It has been a while since I’ve had a Dehlinger. Always solid and not sure about current pricing but I remember them being a good value. I’ll have to scare one up. Thx for the reminder

Diamond Collection Black Label Claret California Cabernet Sauvignon

Excellent qpr! Upon opening, it’s somewhat subdued but half an hour later, wow! What happened?! And with food, roasted red meats, hard cheeses, grilled vegetables, it really comes alive! This is as good or better than cabs costing 2-3 times as much. Great daily drinker!! — 6 months ago

Estate Russian River Valley Claret Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah 2011

The black fruit is still present though on the downside with a touch of green showing. Drank this on the wrong side of the hill but still enjoyable enough. — 4 months ago

Château Chasse-Spleen

Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

We had it on a diner with friends. Food was a bit of a disappointment considering the reputation (and the price tag) but the bottle was frankly excellent. Tell tale claret which is delivering the goods now but no rush. — 7 months ago

Claret Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Not quite as bracingly dry as the last few vintages but still good depth of field-especially for the price. 12.10.25. — 2 months ago

I do like the “Old School” term, Claret.
