Tasting notes
The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate has a jeweled ruby red color and is beautifully detailed, with notes of fresh black cherries, pressed flowers, pretty spices, and fresh forest herbs. Medium-bodied, it offers a silky texture, with even, ripe tannins and a clean and delicate warmth on the finish. It’s a gorgeous wine to drink over the coming 10-12 years. One of the most unique properties in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma County, the Dehlinger estate is a single, contiguous property spanning 80 acres with diverse exposition, soils, and biodiversity. The original 14 acres of vines were planted by Tom Dehlinger in 1974. Today, his daughters Eva and Carmen lead the way in the vineyards and winery and are producing some of the most compelling Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay the region has to offer. The Garbro Ranch labels are one of the region's top values, with a clear lens into the estate’s focused style and transparency of place.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Altamont is dark and explosive. Black fruit, leather, licorice and mocha are front and center in a loud, powerful Pinot that very much makes itself heard. Plush contours wrap it all together. This was picked between late August and early September. There's a bit of underlying tension in the tannins from drought conditions, but the 2022 is nicely balanced just the same.
