Radio-Coteau Dierke Pinot Noir 2018
The deep ruby color of the 2018 Radio-Coteau Dierke Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast hints at what is to come. Opening with ripe red cherry, dried cranberry, and dusty raspberry, the bright fruit ushers in a brooding, structured intensity. An earthy forest floor character mingles with savory notes of cinnamon, cola nut, tobacco leaf, and a hint of dark chocolate. A touch of flint minerality reveals itself alongside delicate lilacs balanced by grippy tannins. Thoroughly charismatic in its youth, the 2018 Dierke will continue to gracefully reveal its many layers for those patient enough to learn its secrets.

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 2018 Pinot Noir Radio-Coteau Dierke is bright and finely sculpted. Small red berry fruit, crushed rocks, blood orange, mint, pine and rosewater give this sinewy, focused Pinot tons of character. The Dierke is one of the more aromatic, transparent wines in this range. Today, the Dierke is quite reticent, but it should start to blossom beautifully with a bit of time in bottle.” (96 Pts)
