Dierke’s Organically certified hillside vineyard is nestled just off Bodega Highway within a diverse habitat of fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and beneficial plants. Situated in the fog-laden Sonoma Coast appellation, this is a unique 2.6 acre jewel. Married young, the two clonal selections Mt. Eden and 828, co-fermented in their open top tank. Gentle hand punchdowns strengthened their phenolic bond. Together, unfined and unfiltered, a dense, site-specific Sonoma Coast reference point is realized.

With a focused garnet core, the 2010 Dierke Pinot Noir is a tight fist that releases its grip in the presence of air. From this grasp escape complex aromas of red fruit and Chinese green tea. In the mouth there exists a similar unveiling of cassis, cocoa, and porcini mushroom. While harmonious now the experience should continue to gain complexity with age, cellaring through 2020.

“Ruby-red. Powerfully scented bouquet evokes cherry pit, black raspberry, licorice and cola, with a smoky overtone. Weighty and broad on entry, then tighter in the middle, offering vibrant dark berry and floral pastille flavors lifted by zesty minerality. Closes on a spicy note, with serious thrust and persistent florality.” — Josh Raynolds

THE WINE ADVOCATE #199, February 2012
(92-94) points
“The 2010 Pinot Noir Dierke is a big, broad-shouldered wine endowed with considerable structure and power. The flavor profile tends towards dark black cherries, but ultimately the Dierke is more about structure and minerality. Hints of earthiness, tobacco and licorice linger on the powerful finish. It should be terrific in another few years. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. ” — Antonio Galloni
