Intense lemon-lime and grapefruit flavors are accented by red peach and wild cherry notes that are smooth and well-spiced
Beautiful tones of yellow rose and honey segue to creamy persistence
earth and meat aromas that follow through to a full body
Has admirable range
this is a wine that will please all the bigger-is-better crowd but do as well on the dinner table with red meat as just about any Domestic Cabernet twice its price point
1998 Dehlinger "Estate" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Intense lemon-lime and grapefruit flavorsThe outstanding 1998 Pinot Noir Estate (1,050 cases) is a full bodied, powerful wine with plenty of jammy cherry fruit intermixed with smoke, chocolate, earth, and allspice. Voluptuously textured, chewy, and pure, this is a delectable Pinot Noir that will not make old bones, but for drinking over the next 4 5 years, it is hard to resist. (RP)
