Dierke Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

I could make have sworn this was burgundy. Amazing wine!

Bodega Highway, in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger...Than moonshine I call it Radical Coteau. Something more edgy for Eric’s portfolio. Which I love, particularly Savoy and Terra Nuema. This opened like a bomb, close to a smoky Amarone. Brooding and wild. Settled into a wild boysenberry. Some blue, red and black fruit with the slight presence of sandy topsoil with a little brush. Sandalwood. Definitely a lighter, more natural expression while maintaining the RC polish

Red and black cherry, a bit of sweet syrup, slight Brett and forest floor. Think it need some more aging.

At height of aging - in perfect balance. Phenomenal showing after a dry Willamette Rose of Pinot noir. By far best Coteau I have had. Acid and fruit balanced out brilliantly. - 2013 vintage tasted Sep 2018.

Lovely red and black fruits. Nice texture and youthful tangy acidity.

Dark cherry with a pleasantly bitter tinge, almost like biting in to a pit. Silky and pure.

Beautiful.

Personal favorite from the open house tasting for the 2012s

Lovely lovely Pinot Noir. Soulful, polished, vibrant. Will be even more glorious in 2-3 years.

Candlelight pinot. Nothing better. Grippy, red fruit.
