More vizzlefurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Both of these wines were distintly Dehlinger Chards w/ a good balance between oak & ripe melony fruit. I slightly preferred the Estate for its greater depth & intensity & complexity, but neither one would I throw out of bed.
Garbo Ranch is a vnyd nearby the Dehlinger Estate that they purchased several yrs ago.
