2017 Dehlinger Goldridge Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., $50. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Exceptional nose with an array of aromas including strawberry, cherry, rose petal, sage, white pepper, vanilla and cardamom. Delicious dark red cherry essence in a mid-weight style. Relatively rich but reigned in with juicy acidity and fine tannins. Excellent harmony, finishing with a jubilee of cherry aroma. Still superb when tasted two days later from a previously opened bottle. Score: 95. Reviewed August 22, 2021
