2021 Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Estate Pinot Noir Sonoma Co...

This Pinot Noir from Hirsch Vineyards celebrates the influence of the San Andreas fault on these vineyards. This is Hirsch’s flagship wine, and the one which best represents the complexity of Hirsch Vineyards’ terroir. This estate spans 72 acres, divided into 67 individual farming blocks that correspond to the dramatic, sudden changes in soil and aspect created by the Fault. As you might expect, this is wonderfully complex. Red cherries, anise, mint, peach and earth combine on the palate, alongside dark chocolate and dried goji berry notes. There’s a long, persistent finish. The density in 2021 makes it one of the finest vintages of this wine to ever be released.
