Self | Rating: 94
Dark purple red color with a big |Hirsch Vineyard| nose of cocoa powder, brambly dark fruits, sweet plum, vanilla, toasty oak, thorny rosebush, stone, minerals, and spearmint. Full and rich with excellent acidity and moderately strong chalky tannins. Finishes long with plenty of sweet chocolate and oak. A superlative version of a big Pinot Noir.Drink Dates: 2007-2014Author: Daniel B
