Tasting notes
The 2015 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard is powerful and tightly wound. In this vintage, the Hirsch is especially tannic and closed, the result of dramatically low yields. It will be interesting to see if the fruit can fully emerge. Today, the Hirsch impresses for its unrelenting drive and persistence. Like the Precious Mountain, the Hirsch is an especially savory Pinot.

The 2015 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard is medium ruby-purple colored and scented of crushed black cherries, pomegranate and anise with hints of oolong tea, dried thyme and forest floor. Medium-bodied with wonderful vivacity, depth and harmony in the mouth, it has a solid frame of grainy tannins and a long, refreshing finish. 284 cases produced.
