Tasting notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard is arguably the most reticent wine in this range. Still raw and not fully formed, the Hirsch only hints at its ultimate potential. The sensual aromatics typical of this site only emerge with quite a bit of time in the glass, but more generally, the elements need time to come together. Today, the Hirsch is a bit compact and folded in on itself, while the oak is prominent. Still, the wine's persistence and silky tannins bode well for the future. There is certainly plenty to look forward to.
