2020 Dierberg Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ml
The grapes for this wine come exclusively from the Dierberg Drum Canyon Vineyard located near the north eastern edge of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. From this hillside vineyard we’ve observed that both the cluster and berry size are quite small due to the challenging growing environment and low fertility soils. The result is a wine of unique character with a true sense of place, the Sta. Rita Hills.

Tasting notes
Attractive medium plum color with slow forming lightly stained tears on the glass. The nose is aromatic with red and black cherries, ripe berries, dried herbs, baking spice, oak and cured meatnotes. The entry on the palate is bright with red cherry, strawberry and red berry with vanillaspice and a hint of sassafras appearing on the mid palate. Fine, medium tannins and fresh, balanced acidity dwell through the moderate finish with notes of cherry candy, barrel spice and subtle oak.
Food pairings
The 2020 Dierberg Pinot Noir is a great wine to pair with pomegranate glazed pork loin served with a brown and wild rice mix with barberries.
