Wine Specs
Dedication to the craft – and each other
We marvel at Gerhard and Linda Reisacher. There’s no harder working husband-and-wife team in the wine business today than Linda and Gerhard Reisacher. The pair hooked up while slaves to the wine trade — both working for others. With the 1992 harvest, Gerhard made a serious commitment to make his own wine. Three years later, he and his future bride abandoned their “day jobs” in order to launch Delectus Wines. (They were married in Gerhard’s hometown of Baden, Austria, in 1998.)
Since that time, Linda and Gerhard have labored tirelessly to produce consistently
outstanding red wines, primarily single vineyard Cabernets, Merlots, Bordeaux blends and a lip-smacking Petite Sirah.
Their efforts have paid off with consumers and wine critics alike. Wine Spectator has consistently meted out high scores when reviewing Delectus wines and their circle of fans grows increases with every new release.
Gerhard notes, "The wines should be concentrated and balanced, which is synonymous with the Delectus style and reputation we’ve built over the years." We suggest you make Delectus prove their reputation by ordering their 2005 Napa Cabernet, a most approachable Cabernet.
Trust us – this instant crowd pleaser will have family and friends heralding the intense blackberry aromas, which combine expertly with the soft tannins and nice structure accented with flavors of dark roast coffee and cherries. We challenge you to try and cellar this wine! We don’t seem to be able to keep it in the cellar long enough to gather any dust.
