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

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

Three clones from 4 Goldridge soil sites, Clone 828 & 13 plus Pommard 5. Medium Ruby color with aromas of dark berry fruits with notes of herbs and spices. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and cherry with espresso, vanilla and herb spice, well balanced with acidity. Fine tannins on a long finish ending with cedar, spice and earthy character. Very nice! Very small production. — 6 months ago

Very nice Cab with a lot of cedar, veg and some chocolate and blackberries in the nose. The taste was fully integrated with some dark fruit notes. The finish was okay but a bit short. Overall it was good but showing it’s age and will have to rethink my wine cellar drinking decisions. — 7 months ago
