Note di degustazione
Previously recommended. 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

Dense purple color. Wild, highly expressive nose displays fresh raspberry, blackberry, violet pastille and cracked pepper; textbook syrah. Palate-staining dark berry flavors are almost shockingly lithe, with fine-grained tannins adding shape and grip and Asian spices carrying into the finish. Leaves behind a strong note of blackcurrant. This was picked at 26o Brix and ended up at 15.2% alcohol but I detected no heat.
