Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Pinot Noir Dierberg Vineyard Block Five is lovely, offering up complex aromas of crushed berries, citrus rind, potpourri and loamy soil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and sappy, with a juicy core of delicate dark fruit and a tangy, fragrant finish. It's one of the more youthfully expressive wines in the range, but it has deceptive substance too.
Vinous
The 2016 Pinot Noir Dierberg Vineyard - Block 5, from the eastern portion of the site, presents a distinctly powerful, brooding expression of Santa Maria Pinot. Scorched earth, tobacco, smoke, incense and wild cherry add to the wine's dark, inward personality. The 2016 was done with fully destemmed fruit. Even with all of its considerable depth and volume, the 2016 is a bit rustic. Perhaps time in bottle will help the wine find a bit more finesse.
