Tasting notes
Blend of fruit from Hirsch and a neighbour. Not that much nose. But very pretty fruit on the palate. Really quite gentle, with light greenness (redwood?) on the palate. Long and youthful. (JR)

The 2021 The Bohan-Dilon Pinot Noir is a blend of fruit from three vineyards in western Sonoma: Hirsch, Heintz and Hellenthal. It has slowly unfurling scents of raspberry preserves, saline, licorice, cinnamon, tea leaves and orange peel. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with berry, earth and floral layers. It has an alluringly silky texture, mouthwatering acidity and a long, layered finish. It's a notably expressive version of Bohan-Dillon and one you could cellar over the next decade.
A killer value, the 2021 Pinot Noir The Bohan-Dillon is a lot of wine, with an expressive perfume of wild raspberry, lavender, fresh herbs, and soil. It’s medium-bodied, with fantastic balance, refreshing acidity, notes of black raspberry and baking spice, and a long finish. This is a lovely and exceptional wine. Drink 2023-2033.
Pale ruby in colour. Sweet red fruit – cherry and a bit of strawberry with a spicy stemminess and a light gravelly funk. High, refreshing acidity and superfine, sandy tannin. Nicely balanced. Tasting through the line-up, the jump in complexity with the solely estate fruit, named blocks is evident – this is simpler but quite pretty. (SCJ)
