2007 Hirsch San Andreas Hirsch Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 14.0% alc., pH 3.67, 1.642 cases, $60. Blended from 26 fermentation lots composed of fruit from 36 farming blocks and represents the totality of this site in this vintage. Aged 21 months in French oak barrels. · Very restrained aromatics. More giving on the palate with layers of interest including black cherry and cranberry fruit, cola, baking spices and a little sauvage. Still young and tight, it has the harmony to age for years. Very good (+). Reviewed March 12, 2011
Winery: Hirsch Vineyards
