2018 Hirsch Vineyards West Ridge Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

12.2% alc., 512 cases, $85. · This block is located on rolling hills of the westerly part of the vineyard. Moderately light garnet color in the glass. The aromas have a comforting, peaceful tone including red cherry and peppery herbs. Rather delicate and elegant with red cherry and raspberry flavors underlain with a savory herbal thread. Very bright and agreeable, yet showing enough chewy tannin to align the fruit. Score: 93. Reviewed July 29, 2021
