"Broad and ample on the palate, the 2015 Pinot Noir Altamont is another dark, richly textured wine from Dehlinger. A dollop of whole clusters and a move towards aging 50% of this wine in larger format barrels gives the Altamont lovely brightness to play off the natural richness of the vintage. This is a gorgeous wine from Dehlinger. This is a superb set of new and upcoming releases from Dehlinger. The 2016 Pinots are brilliant and promising, while the 2015s capture the potential they showed from barrel. Although the Pinots get most of the attention at Dehlinger, the Syrahs and the Cabernet Sauvignon are equally deserving of serious consideration. Dehlinger sells most of their production directly, which means prices remain exceedingly fair."
