Hirsch Vineyards 'East Ridge' Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir from one of the oldest and most unique sections of the Hirsch Vineyard dating back to 1990. 80% of the old vines on the East Ridge are stricken with phylloxera, resulting in some of the lowest yields at Hirsch, and requiring intensive and meticulous vine-by-vine farming.

Tasting Notes: On the nose, a first impression of powerful dark fruit, although the wine is still quite shy at this young age. Notes of sage, orange zest, white flowers, polished mahogany, raspberries and fresh pomegranate emerge with air. On the palate, the fruit is dense and savory, with a silky texture that envelopes the tannins, resulting in a wine of elegant power and tremendous potential.
