Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2008

The top cuvee, the 2006 Chardonnay Estate, is fashioned from the vineyard's finest blocks (primarily old Wente clones). A light straw/gold color is followed by aromas of sweet honeyed grapefruit, quince, poached pears, and a subtle touch of white peaches. Medium to full-bodied with steely acidity, excellent depth, a hint of oak, and a long finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, June 2009

Light, bright gold. Restrained scents of green apple and pear skin unfurl with air, offering deeper melon and peach qualities. Tangy, sharply focused citrus and orchard fruit flavors stain the palate, picking up floral and herbal character with air. The finish is strikingly pure and bright and repeats the citrus and floral notes. This seems very young, and in need of a year or two to unwind. 91 points

About Winery

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.
