Dierberg’s estate vineyard has produced an earthy pinot in this vintage, with excellent palate weight and depth. Note of forest floor and cola float in the background while the scent of dark cherry and strawberry dominate. Nicely structured and well balanced, this pinot can be drunk now although it will certainly improve over the next few years if cellared properly.
