Hirsch Vineyards Pinot Noir Reserve Sonoma Coast 2016 750ml

David Hirsch planted his first vines in 1980 on a remote ridge near Cazadero, high above the Pacific on the far Sonoma Coast, long before the region was fashionable. The vineyard straddles the San Andreas Fault, and its jumbled soils and cool marine climate yield Pinot Noir of striking complexity. Now led by his daughter Jasmine, Hirsch is regarded as one of California's benchmark coastal Pinot estates. The Reserve is a selection drawn from the estate, and the balanced 2016 vintage earned strong reviews from Wine Advocate, Vinous and Wine Enthusiast. Expect red cherry, cranberry, rose petal, forest floor and spice on a taut, savory palate. Enjoy now through about 2030.
