Immediate impressions of Meyer lemon and orange blossom are followed by aromas of hazelnut, allspice and Fuji apple. On the palate, the wine is sleek and refined, with a lithe texture and mouthwatering acidity. Flavors of citrus, Fuji apple, tangelo and lightly toasted hazelnuts—echo the aromatic impressions of this Chardonnay, creating seamless wine, at once powerful and impeccably balanced. The finish shows the minerality for which Dierberg Chardonnay has become known.
On the nose aromas of black fruit and lush raspberry mix with lingering notes of roasted coffee. With hints of sweet smoke, this round full-bodied shows great acidity with light green herb and tart blackberry. The firm tannins, and high fruit concentration lend to a long, elegant finish.
Classic Dierberg Vineyard Pinot Noir aromatics of cedary spice and a reduction of cherry and mushrooms brings forth fruity and earthy qualities at once. The palate is both concentrated and delicate and finishes fresh.

“Dierberg follows up its outstanding 2009 offering with another splendid Syrah that hits one high point after the other. It is rife with deep and exceptionally well-defined fruit, and its insistent themes of blackberries, spice and cured meats do not ease up even as a fair bit of grippy young tannin takes hold. It is ripe but eschews jamminess and shows very good structure and balance for the solid, rather gutsy wine that it is. While sure to impress in the short term, it is not meant for hasty drinking, and it can be held for eight to ten years before reaching what is certain to be its considerable best.”
