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

Dehlinger’s Pinot Noirs are so reasonably priced that consumers may overlook them. I just finished my last bottle of his 1994 Reserve, and it was still drinking beautifully. There are only 250 cases of the 2004 Pinot Noir Reserve, which is produced entirely from hillside sites. With a sweet mid-section, admirable ripeness, acidity, purity, texture, and elegance, a medium to full-bodied palate, and loads of black raspberry, plum, black cherries, and notions of forest floor as well as subtle oak, it should age nicely for a decade or more.
