Still clinging on to its oak but also to its fruit. Nice, soft, oaky, well-aged, Russian River Pinot Noir.

Tasting of 10 of the 2007-2011 Dehlinger Pinots. Eva Delingher was kind enough to join our tasting and answer all of our random questions. So this one seemed to have some VA which was so disappointing - my rank 10th of 10. Group also ranked it last place.

Burgundian in style with terrific integration of earth and fruit, black raspberries, red cherries, forest floor, mushrooms, exotic spices and an elegant finish.

Wasn’t expecting much out of this, but it was about as well aged of a CA pinot as I have had.

1999 Estate Pinot Noir. From a full case that had a few unlabeled bottles.
