RATINGS

95James Suckling

This is very mineral, with raspberry, bergamot and some sandalwood. Aromatic. Medium to full body, firm and creamy tannins and a long, flavorful finish.

94Jeb Dunnuck

...aromas of black cherry, cardamom, forest earth, and violets...full-bodied, with more black cherry and blackberry on the palate, as well as fine tannins, tangy acidity, and notes of fresh berries and turned earth...clean and balanced and has a fairly long finish.

93Vinous / IWC

Crushed rocks, red-toned fruit, rose petal, iron, mint and dried herbs all run through this vibrant, chiseled, aromatic Pinot Noir.

92The Wine Advocate

It has slowly opening aromas of cranberry jelly, rhubarb, mossy bark and mushrooms plus touches of cinnamon and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, savory flavors. It has a frame of chalky tannins and seamless acidity with a long, spicy finish.

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.
