2007 Dehlinger Pinot Noir Goldridge Vineyard

The 2007 Pinot Noir Goldridge Vineyard displays copious notes of red currants, raspberries, and earth in its medium to full-bodied personality. It also offers deliciously pure fruit, hints of cinnamon and allspice, lots of flesh and richness, velvety tannins, and good acidity. It should drink well for a decade. Tom Dehlinger is “consistently consistent,” and his wines are always a delight to taste. When you combine that with fair pricing and remarkable humility, this estate merits (and receives) strong support from wine consumers. Dehlinger’s 2007 Pinot Noirs may be the finest he has produced since the mid-nineties (his 1994s are still holding on to life). In his quiet manner, Tom Dehlinger continues to turn out very fine Syrahs, and deserves credit for being one of the pioneers with Rhone Ranger varietals. Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918
