Goldridge Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley 2021

Dehlinger’s 2021 Goldridge Pinot Noir flows with the grace of a dancer and the quiet strength of nature—elegant, poised, and deeply tied to its origins. Established in 1975 by Tom Dehlinger, the winery played a pivotal role in shaping the Russian River Valley’s character. With expertise in biochemistry and viticulture, Tom crafted winemaking into a precise integration of science and terroir.

This wine derives its vitality from the renowned Goldridge soils—ancient, sandy loams formed from uplifted marine beds, lending finesse and vibrancy. These soils, valued for their excellent drainage and mineral depth, produce fruit of exceptional purity and complexity. At Dehlinger’s estate vineyard, the vines’ deep roots draw a unique intricacy, yielding fruit with striking clarity.

Sustainably and dry-farmed, the vineyard flourishes without irrigation, cultivating resilience in the vines and authenticity in every sip. In the cellar, meticulous care prevails—grapes ferment with native yeasts and age in French oak, allowing the wine to mature while preserving its sense of place. It was the first bottle emptied at a recent tasting, a clear sign of its captivating charm and impeccable quality.

“A medium ruby color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Goldridge is highly expressive out of the gate, offering spicy and well-layered with notes of baking spice, cinnamon, dried violets, ripe raspberries, and brambly herbs. Medium-bodied, it has a great spine of acidity, a texture of fine tannins, and a long finish with a note of perfume. Drink it over the next 15 years.”
