Dierke’s Organically certified hillside vineyard is nestled just off Bodega Highway within a diverse habitat of fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and beneficial plants. Situated in the fog-laden Sonoma Coast appellation, this is a unique 2.6 acre jewel. A cool spring in 2009 resulted in light fruit set and naturally low-yielding vines, ultimately translating to notable depth and structure in the finished wine.

Scarlet red in color. Fruit driven aromatics such as Bing cherry, blueberry, and strawberry pie mingle with layers of fresh cut spring flowers, briary clay earth, and lime essence. With a marshmallow fat entry yet showing its youthful acidity, the juicy mouthfeel rounds to a refined tannin backbone.

“An elegant, layered and overtly ripe (but not jammy or roasted) nose speaks of plum, red currant and blue berries trimmed in subtle spice hints. Here too there is excellent richness and mid-palate concentration to the generous and seductively textured flavors that possess a velvety mouth feel on the long, balanced and solidly complex finish.” —Alan Meadows

“Bright ruby. High-pitched redcurrant and raspberry aromas, with sexy floral and mineral notes gaining strength with air. Fresh and precise, offering concentrated but lively red berry and cherry compote flavors, with a strong jolt of minerality in the mid-palate. This silky pinot gains a floral pastille quality with air and finishes long, with noteworthy clarity and cut. This is a new wine for Sussman; the grapes comes from a 2.6-acre, organically grown vineyard in far western Sebastopol that was planted in 2006. ” — Josh Raynolds

“With even higher potential, the 2009 Pinot Noir Dierke comes from the Mt. Eden clone as well as Dijon clone 828. Still on its lees, this is a limited production (100 cases) cuvee with lots of forest floor, black raspberry and blue fruit notes. Once past the terrific aromatics, it is a medium to full-bodied, beautifully fruited wine with impressive purity and texture as well as a Vosne-Romanee-like personality. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years. ” — Robert Parker
