RATINGS

99Vinous / IWC

...outrageously beautiful. Succulent dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, rose petal, spice and new leather are all amplified.

98+ Jeb Dunnuck

...aromas of orange peel, wild lavender, grenadine, and cedar. Medium-bodied, it has an outstanding concentration of fruit without any excess weight, offering ripe, structured tannins, a persistent mineral undercurrent, and an incredibly long finish.

97James Suckling

Lots of hibiscus and strawberries with citrus flowers like oranges. Very perfumed. Full-bodied, firm and juicy, with savory and beautifully formed muscular tannins. It’s very long and tensioned. Lovely persistence. Great finish.

95The Wine Advocate

...scents of pomegranate, blood orange, lavender, licorice, mushroom and dried clay...medium-bodied palate offers highly concentrated, layered flavors supported by finely chalky tannins and enlivened by lip-smacking acidity, and it finishes with a flourish of spice and earth accents.

17.5+ Jancis Robinson

Red cherry, cola and a touch of menthol to the nose. Bright acidity that caresses more than drives and silty, fine tannin. Long evolving, spice-tinged finish. Superb.

PRODUCER

Hirsch Vineyards

Hirsch Vineyards is on the Sonoma Coast. It was established in 1980 when David Hirsch began growing Pinot Noir and making wine. The estate today is still owned and operated by Hirsch, his wife and daughter. The estate makes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Sonoma Coast

Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
