I thought I was drinking the estate bottling but it turns out to be the Altamont. Wow, what a big wine and super loaded with cola, deep dark berries and some more completely intergraded elements. It had a nice long finish. Overall it was quite different and a bit over the top, Not sure if it would calm down some with more age. Got a few more bottles so I guess I’ll find out. — 2 months ago

Can't go wrong with Dehlinger. Drinking great but too late in evening to remember details. — 8 years ago

My first time with Dehlinger Syrah. I believe this ‘08 estate is all from their Altamont vineyard in the Russian River Valley.

Deep red/purple in the glass, hardly any bricking. Aromatics of ripe red and black berries, violets, and sweet spices. I don’t detect any savory notes and assuming no use of whole clusters as I don’t get any type of green/lifted profile. Even at 15-16yrs, this is deep with fruit…black raspberries, black currant, dark cocoa, fig, vein of sweetness down the middle, but with a coffee/mocha grippy finish. Followed over two days and, shockingly, held up just fine. Pop the corks and enjoy. — 9 months ago

A mash up of sweet black berry and savory black olive on the nose. On the palette there is a core of sweet fruit surrounded by a bit of iron. Pleasant tannin and acidity. Really enjoying this one. — 7 years ago

2013 Great density and richness. Black cherry, raspberry, vanilla, black pepper just a wonderful expression of Pinot — 9 years ago
