2012 Dehlinger Claret

The 2012 Claret is fabulous. Dark red cherries, pomegranate, spices, wild flowers, cedar and menthol burst from the glass as this intense, structured Cabernet Sauvignon shows off its class and personality. Surprisingly rich and powerful considering this is Dehlinger's 'second' Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2012 Claret offers superb quality for the money. The 2012 will drink well pretty much upon release, but it also has more than enough density to drink well for many years. This is a fabulous showing.
