Dehlinger Pinot Noir Old Vines

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1617

The 2007 Pinot Noir Old Vines (the first vintage of this tiny 200-case cuvee since 1994) comes from 33-year old vines. Exceptional aromas of violets, boysenberries, black cherries, raspberries, and forest/earth jump from the glass of this dark ruby/purple-tinged wine. The floral character follows through into the full-bodied mouthfeel. The wine possesses beautiful sweetness of fruit, a sexy, seductive mouthfeel, and a long finish. Approachable now, it should be even better in 2-3 years, and last for 10-15. Tom Dehlinger is “consistently consistent,” and his wines are always a delight to taste. When you combine that with fair pricing and remarkable humility, this estate merits (and receives) strong support from wine consumers. Dehlinger’s 2007 Pinot Noirs may be the finest he has produced since the mid-nineties (his 1994s are still holding on to life). In his quiet manner, Tom Dehlinger continues to turn out very fine Syrahs, and deserves credit for being one of the pioneers with Rhone Ranger varietals.Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918
