Score 94/100 · Drink 2023-2033, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2021
The 2018 Pinot Noir Altamont has developed into an incredibly elegant wine build on effusive aromatics and bright acids, while shedding some of the youthful intensity it showed a year ago. Crushed red berries, chalk, mint, flowers and white pepper give the 2018 a striking upper register that works so beautifully here. The clean, bracing finish is so engaging.

Score 92-95/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2020
The 2018 Pinot Noir Altamont is ample and resonant, with a real sense of power running through it. Dark red cherry, sage, menthol and a whole range of floral notes infuse the Altamont with tons of complexity. The 2018 finishes with palpable substance and volume. Dehlinger works mostly with 500-liter barrels for this bottling.
