Wow! This is so fresh. A wonderful aged cali cab. I would never have guessed it was a 79. Color, aroma and taste were pure goodness. Leather with a little spice. Right through the middle was clean fruit. Amazing. Tannins completely resolved so I would say drink now. (94 pts.)

Really in a sweet spot but probably time to drink up as there is some oxidization that is working perfectly right now but could become distracting if it increases. The fruit is still fresh with a lemony quality mixed with some cream. As per Mark Vlossak’s suggestion we have with grilled asparagus. Along with the asparagus we grilled zucchini and green onions, then topped with some pepitas and a miso/butter/ginger/chili sauce. - 2007 Dehlinger Pinot Noir Rosé - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (7/4/2013)
Awesome! Time has been very good to this wine. Clean, tasty and complex. In the zone now and should be fine next summer as well. I wish I had more.

Still ripe aromatics but showing some age. A bit of tomato. Fairly tasty. A bit over the top but not out of balance. I wonder what 5 more years will do. (87 pts.)
Cheers,
Jason
