2021 Radio-Coteau Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir Dierke Vineyard 750ML

A sensational depiction of Sonoma Pinot Noir from Eric Sussman at Radio-Coteau.  A winery and winemaker known in the industry as a stalwart of the Sonoma wine scene.

Pinot Noirs from Dierke Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast AVA are typically exuberant and powerful.  This organically grown vineyard epitomizes sustainability and consistency.  Year after year Dierke pinot noir exceeds expectations and overdelivers.

“The 2021 Pinot Noire Dierke is laced with dark red cherry fruit, dried flowers, spice, sweet pipe tobacco and cedar. Linear and very much tightly wound, the 2021 is going to need some decanting to fully blossom. Its… impressive.” – Antonie Galloni, Vinous, 96points.

“From a later ripening site, the 2021 Pinot Noir Dierke has a darker appearance and offers notes of ripe black raspberry liqueur and brushy earth. On the palate, it has great purity and energy in its notes of ripe red berries, turned earth, beet root, and ripe tannins, and lifted freshness. It has good length, with a bit of stemmy spice and wooded earth on the finish. Drink 2025-2050.” – Jeb Dunnuck 97pts
