Founded in 1975 by Carole & Tom Dehlinger, Dehlinger winery is still family owned and operated by their two daughters – Eva Dehlinger & Carmen. The estate is primarily composed of 20+ year old vines that are dry-farmed with a focus on sustainability, producing roughly 3,000cs of Estate Chardonnay & Pinot Noir annually and has been a consistent top player in the Russian River Valley for about two decades now.
Always a critic darling, this is what Antonio Galloni and Vinous had to say about the latest set of releases, “Eva Dehlinger presented a gorgeous set of 2019s. Over the last few years Dehlinger has added an extra dimension of finesse to the wines, and that really comes through in this tasting. These new releases are fabulous.” They’re not even the ones who went gangbusters– Wine Enthusiast went to town on Eva’s latest releases, making them all but impossible to get a hold of…unless you know someone ;).
Hoping to make a splash with the Nicholas Wines crowd on the East Coast, they’ve offered up their three highest rated wines – though there’s not much to go around. The four-pack sampler gives you a chance to try them all. Each four pack includes:
(2 btls) Dehlinger Estate Unfiltered Chardonnay 2019 (96 Pts, WE)
(1 btl) Dehlinger Estate Pinot Noir Goldridge Vineyard 2019 (96 Pts, WE)
(1 btl) Dehlinger Estate Pinot Noir Altamont Vineyard 2018 (97 Pts, WE – 94 Pts, WS)

Anne’s Trousse DDL Vineyard Pinot is absolutely sensational. She couldn’t have asked for a better vintage than 2021 to kick off her inaugural annual release, a tiny by monumental Single-Vineyard project that I believe will catapult her reputation even further into rarified air. Working in a vineyard that has become like a backyard, she’s able to create such a gorgeous, dark-fruited, rich, and earthy Pinot with a velvety chocolate finish that seals the deal like a chef’s kiss.
Once again dialing up fruit from 1000-1500ft in elevation in the Dundee Hills, Chad’s 2021 is juicy, laser focused and roaring out of the gates. Chad tells me that similar wines (very similar wines) off this vineyard are raising their prices up to $55/bottle from $45 this year due to 2020’s lost year. But where most people are raising prices to recoup last year’s losses, the CHAD Pinot Noir price is somehow lower. A true gift from our favorite winemaker.
“Belle Glos’ first wine under the newly minted West Sonoma Coast AVA and a cellared release, this majestic vineyard brings plum with a slight burnt edge in the glass and boasts aromas of freshly tilled land, a rich oak forest in Autumn, and Crème de Cassis. Once on the palate, the acidity sparks a fire of smoked caramel and cinnamon spiked cranberry sauce.
The Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is consistently excellent and represents some of the finest California winemaking there is. It uses some of the best vineyard locations that Kosta Browne has available to them, Gap’s Cron, Thorn Ridge, Treehouse Vineyard to mention a few. In total, it was sourced from 8 different vineyards and blended beautifully together to showcase the terrific 2021 vintage. Fresh-cut strawberries and blueberries, a little bramble and terrific purity and harmony are some of the signatures in this gorgeous new release.
