In 1996, with forty years of winemaking experience, Jim and Mary Dierberg’s dream of producing wines worthy of their 250 year plan became a reality. After a long search through France and Napa, while learning the craft and making wine in the mid-west, they discovered the potential of Santa Barbara’s cool coastal valleys. The family planted two estates -first their namesake Dierberg Vineyard and later Drum Canyon Vineyard – both under their DIERBERG label. These estates, along with the family’s iconic warm climate site Star Lane Vineyard, culminated in a trio of peerless properties in Santa Barbara County.
This coastal Pinot Noir is the dream of classic meets funky. The nose is an adventure filled with notes of cola, leather and earthy mushrooms. The palate then delivers a surprising bloom of red fruit with a distinctive note of cherry pie. If you love Pinot Noir and want to branch out into how the land and location can alter a varietal in such a beautiful way, then this is it!
