Fragrant wild strawberry, pomegranate and mulberry scents soar from the glass of the perfumed, medium to full-bodied, silky smooth 2009 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard. Enjoy this round, seductive Pinot over the next 5-7 years. (Wine Spectator)
| Wine maker notes |
| 2009 was a picture perfect year for this vineyard. The Pommard block, typically the core of our Hirsch bottling, is a hillside planting with multiple exposures that provides tones of cola, boysenberry, white pepper, and pencil lead on the nose and a spine of laser acidity. The second component of the final blend comes from a block of Mt. Eden clone, a breath-taking parcel with direct views of the Pacific. Classic Hirsch elegance is on full display as Mt. Eden's remarkable feminine quality of an ethereal, lacy mouthfeel compliments the deeper firmer tannins of the Pommard clone. Expect this to be the longest-lived Hirsch at about 10-12 years of cellaring. |
