DIERBERG VINEYARD

The Dierberg family began cultivating Drum Canyon Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation of Santa Barbara in 2008. Second generation growers and siblings Ellen Dierberg Milne and Michael Dierberg have focused on a sustainable approach to producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Drum Canyon, making Dierberg one of a select group of California Certified Sustainable vineyards. Winemaker Tyler Thomas apprenticed with Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti fame at the HdV project in Napa and brings a minimalist approach to crafting exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that fully express this special vineyard site.
