| 1995 Dehlinger Cabernet Franc Russian River, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 89 Alcohol by volume: 14.2% Price at time of purchase: $0.00 (Limited availability) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): Cabernet Franc Lost in the terror of my collapsing 401K, I managed to drop off the Dehlinger mailing list and thus am left with only a few Dehlingers in my cellar. Big mistake. I dusted off this bottle and, no surprise, found it to be another winner from this outstanding producer. Very Bordeaux-like in aroma and texture. Smoky cassis, dark berries, blueberries, spicy oak, and flowers highlight the nose and flavors. Good grip and length. Would be an interesting ringer in a Bordeaux tasting to see if this would be identified as a California wine. - HK 2000-08-22 [Back] |
