Dehlinger produces 300-500 cases of their Cabernet/Merlot Blend. As I have frequently written, this is not a wine to be ignored, its humble name notwithstanding. The opaque purple-colored 1995 Cabernet/Merlot Blend (70% Cabernet Sauvignon / 30% Merlot) displays a sweet, rich nose of melted road tar, black currants, earth, minerals, and toast. Rich, with great fruit and ripeness, this full-bodied wine will be at its best after 2-4 years of cellaring; it will keep for 15+ years. Looking at the equation of points for value, Tom Dehlinger's wines still represent some of the best bargains in California. I can imagine there must be immense pressure on him to increase prices given both the quality of his wines, and the fact that he is dead center in the Russian River, a viticultural region that is as hot as a firecracker when it comes to popularity. His upcoming line-up includes many enticing entities. Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918
