Also austere, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a bigger, denser effort, but also far more tannic. These are firmly structured wines, and their tannin issues seem to preclude immediate appeal. They will have to be monitored to see if the tannins melt away before the fruit begins to fade. The 2006s are not nearly as strong as Dehlinger’s 2005s.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
