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 1,150 cases of the 2004 Pinot Noir Estate. Aged in 35-45% new French oak, this stunning effort was fashioned from both the Pommard and Martini Clones of Pinot Noir culled from Dehlinger’s hillside and knoll-top vineyard. Full-bodied and intense with superb elegance, complexity, aromatics, and texture, it reveals abundant black fruits in the nose along with hints of forest floor, herbs, and earth. It should drink beautifully for a decade. Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918
