Vineyard Profile
Dierke’s organically certified hillside vineyard is nestled just off Bodega Highway within a diverse habitat of fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and beneficial plants. Notoriously exuberant and powerful, like the grower himself, the Dierke vineyard teems with life every season. The 2021 was another Dierke vintage with impeccable farming and exceptional grower execution. The pristine fruit quality present at harvest allowed for a seamless reception in the cellar with only minimal sorting necessary. We chose to age the bold 2021 Dierke Pinot Noir for 17 months in both barrel and puncheon, and an additional year of bottle age prior to release has only further elevated the potential of this distinguished site.
