Hirsch Vineyards
David Hirsch was one of the first visionaries to plant Pinot Noir on the true Sonoma Coast and now farms 68 acres of Pinot Noir and 4 acres of Chardonnay. Initially, he moved to the area to farm trees but a friend suggested the ridges would be perfect for growing Pinot Noir. The first two acres were planted in 1980. A winery was built in 2002. A second label, Bohan-Dillon, is also fine and less expensive. Hirsch supplies fruit to many prominent California (and at times even Oregon) wineries including Littorai, Williams Selyem, Faille, and Siduri. 45075 Bohan-Dillon Rd,Cazadero, CA. 707-847-3600. Production is 5,500 cases annually. Tours and tasting by appointment (plan on a full day if driving from more populated areas of Sonoma and try to time your visit when it isn’t raining - Cazadero receives 80 inches of the wet stuff each year). Every true pinotphile should make the pilgrimage some time in their life. The wines are sold through a mailing list and retail distribution.
Articles About Hirsch VineyardsReviewed Wines![]() 2006 The Bohan-Dillon Hirsch Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 14.6% alc., $30. · A simple Pinot Noir that makes a pleasant overall impression. Earth, damp leaf and spiced cherry scents with red Pinot fruit flavors enhanced by tones of herbs and oak. Light in the mouth with a good acid kick on the backend.
