Wine Description
The 2006 Dierberg Pinot Noir has proven to be somewhat atypical
and is a departure from our big, burly house style. The wine exhibits
the "sauvage" sage-like note that has come to define the wines from
our vineyard, but envelops it in a more elegant frame. It is a sublime
and classy wine, with delicate aromas of tea leaf, raspberry and forest
floor and a sneaky structural component that keeps it firm and
age worthy. The wine is perhaps more Audrey Hepburn than Brigitte
Bardot in style. Enjoy this lithe and beautiful wine now with simply
flavored food, or age for as many as 10 years to enhance the sage
and forest floor notes that characterize the vintage.
