Vineyard Profile
Dusty Lane winds down and around Dierke’s organically certified hillside vineyard. Tucked away on a southern facing slope, the site is consistently flushed with onshore cooling at dawn and dusk, resulting in extended flavor development and vibrant fruit character. This vineyard gem is sourced exclusively by Radio-Coteau. Picked in mid-October and with 30% whole cluster inclusion, the 2019 Dusty Lane filled the cellar with intensely expressive aromatics during fermentation. Following a 20-month élevage in 500L neutral oak puncheons, we chose to age this powerful Syrah for an additional year in bottle, further polishing the tannins and fully integrating its compelling profile.
