Dehlinger, Altamont, Pinot Noir 2019 (RRV, CA)

VINOUS, 93 Points: The 2019 Pinot Noir Altamont is a gorgeous wine. At present, the Altamont is quite closed, as if all of its energy is focused inward. Wild red cherry, lavender, rose petal, kirsch, mint and blood orange all run through the 2019. There's lovely depth and density here.

Wine Spectator, 91 Points: Juicy and compact, with a ball of wound-up cherry and red licorice notes forming the core, while red tea and dried savory hints add sparkle through the finish. Shows a late sous-bois echo that's pretty.
