2003 Dehlinger Estate Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., 1,300 cases, $42. Octagon and High
Plains sections of vineyard included.

Very floral nose with overtones of tequila. The flavors trump the nose
with a rich parade of full-bodied dark red fruits that are smoothly textured and framed by reigned-in tannins.
My least favorite of the vertical tasting.
