2005 Dehlinger Goldridge Vineyard Pinot Noir

[dananne]

WW always raves about Tom's stuff, but this is the first time it's crossed our lips. We stumbled upon this bottle at a wine shop in Columbia, MO (Anne and I are camping up here this week).

Deep ruby in color, with a nose of cherries, spices, a touch of earth, and that white fudge stuff that my crazy Norwegian grandmother called sea foam. Rich fruit flavors, but it has quite a bit of acidity. It's probably what allows Dehlinger wines to age so well. A trace of heat from the 14.5% is my only small quibble. Overall, a very nice RRV wine. Anne was extremely favorable. We paid $43 and would buy it again.
