I Dun Dented Da Dehlinger Cab!

[Terence_T-Bone_Livingston]

1999 Cab: even darker color than the 2001. I want to wash my body with this before I die and have my ashes be put into a bio-dynamic cryogenetic freezer with Ted Williams and prove to him “this was the biggest hitter!!!” …while I’m dead.

2003 Cab: Wow…if I had time in my life to enjoy this baby…I’d be put in a cryogenetic freezer with Ted Williams, wake up in 30 years, and find out how this baby’s doing." (wow…I seem to have some De Ja Vu here!!!/…")

2005 Cab: As I sip this right now, right here, sans cryo-ice…I get a nice bit of toasty oak, with firm, black, cocoa fruit, but hiding all the way like the best kid hiding in Hide N Seek when he knew he done something wrong. Fucker was good!

Dehlinger…the man…the myth…wines for the next lifetime!

Nice notes, T-Bone, though all the necrophilia is a bit disconcerting…

I have the 1996 Bdx Blend I’m looking forward to trying… any `in-this-lifetime’ experiences with that one??

Well, you compared the 99 to the 01…but I see no note for the 01…what had happened?

If the RRV can produce excellent Cab, doesn’t this indicate it is not the right place for Pinot?

I was on a Russian River Valley Winegrowers media panel with Tom a couple weeks ago- I was there for Pinot and he was there for BDX varieties from the Russian River. He made the point that while we enjoy cool foggy (and therefore optimum) weather most years through the ripening portion of the Pinot season (August/September), the later Indian Summer (if I can be so politically incorrect) gives way to warmer tempratures during harvest of later-ripening varities. He said his cab can only ripen on his best soils. He poured his 2006 which I can say without equivocation was the best young Sonoma County Cab I have ever seen.
