92+ points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$60 list] Dehlinger's 2011 Pinot Noir Altamont Vineyard is both more nuanced and also more structured than the Goldridge. A classic Russian River Pinot, the Altamont offers plenty of suppleness and pure texture. Rose petals, violets, crushed rocks and new leather all add layers of further dimension. This is a striking Pinot with tons of personality. Drink: 2014-2023. (Feb 2014)"
92 points and 'Very highly recommended,' California Grapevine: "[$60 list] Medium-light to medium ruby; attractive, seductive, bright cherry fruit aroma with hints of licorice, cedar, clove, and cola; medium-full body; forward, rich, textured, black cherry fruit flavors that are firmly structured and have good depth and a velvety mouthfeel; medium to medium-full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Opened and developed some complexity as it aired in the glass. 14.9% alcohol; 1,075 cases; released February 2014. (May 2014)"
