Delectus A tantalizing and elevated nose expresses aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, dustiness, cayenne pepper, huckleberry, fresh tree bark, rosehip, and blood orange pulp. The mouth has a rolling body, the core is refined and firm, and tannins are soft and elegant. An extremely long mouth-feel with a lingering and satisfying finish. What a pleasure! 525 cases produced.

The Story
Gerhard and Linda Reisacher launched Delectus in 1995 with a focus on making wines representing the terroir of each vineyard. It was during their first overseas trip together that Linda and Gerhard saw Michelangelo's David, which provided the initial spark of inspiration for starting their own winery based on single-minded, uncompromising pursuit of an ultimate ideal. For taht reason, a sketch of David appears on the Delectus label.
Having established relationships with several of the best growers in the region, Gerhard and Linda set out to produce stellar wines they most enjoy: distinctive red wines that are big and bold without being overpowering. Each wine express a sense of place or terroir from carefully selected single-vineyard sources.
