Not up to the level of other bottles of this from the past year, but still very good. This bottle also had noticeably more sediment than previous bottles.

Beautiful. Right in the middle between youthful fruitiness and mature tertiary development, showing some elements of both. Delightfully perfumed on the nose, full in the mouth, and smooth on the finish. A real treat.

A beautiful wine just loaded with blackberries, cassis and spices; very complex overall. Very big on taste and some tannins but drinking great. Happy I have another couple of bottles. This is another wine I get from the winery every year and drink them chronology. All cab, Delectable is incorrect

Always great to pop open any Dehlinger wine. This one is big with spice and bold fruit. Drinking well right now.

Unabashedly Californian: deep, dark fruit with hints of truffle and gun powder. People love to hate on cali CS, but this is great interpretation.
