Radio-Coteau Dierke Pinot Noir

The 2017 Radio-Coteau Dierke Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a complex mix of red and black fruit, coupled with prevalent savory undertones. Aromas of juicy black cherry, bright Santa Rosa plum, and ripe boysenberry marry harmoniously with whispers of black olive, star anise, and freshly steeped black tea. Intriguing notes of violets and terracotta weave throughout. Depth and intensity are balanced by zesty acidity, and a shy layer of vanilla adds a delicate smoothness that lingers on the palate.

Radio-Coteau Dierke Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

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. In 2017, the warm, dry growing conditions were conducive to increased stem lignification, and the resulting 40% whole cluster inclusion in the Dierke is evident in its aromatic lift and rich, spicy complexity.

Reviews

Vinous – “The 2017 Pinot Noir Dierke is powerful, rich and heady, all of which make it an absolutely joy to taste. The heat of the year comes through in the wine’s virile feel and overall intensity. Dried flowers, mint, tobacco, cedar and licorice all add aromatic nuance, but more than anything else, the Dierke is a Pinot of structure. The 40% stems work so well here, but I would give the wine time in bottle to allow the tannins to soften.” (94 Pts)
