2016 Dehlinger Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon (Russian River Valley) is another positively stellar wine in this range. Rich, boisterous and super-expressive, the 2016 has so much to offer. Expressive savory and floral notes add tons of character to the inky blue/purplish berry fruit. More than anything else, though, the Dehlinger Cabernet impresses for its stunning overall balance and sheer allure. Readers who are discouraged by the escalation of prices of Cabernet Sauvignon in other parts of California should check out Dehlinger's 2016, a wine that delivers superb quality for the money. In other words, don't miss it!
