Amazing Pinot! — 8 years ago
Very deep purple color with ruby hues. On the nose: a bit of minerals, dark red fruit jam and pepper. Taste: medium tannins, a bit dry with hints of dried black cherries, plum and cracked black pepper. Good value. — 9 years ago

There have only been 3 wines that made me a little teary eyed and I am proud to add this one to the list. On the nose it’s like you’re stuck in a Cuban cigar box, bing cherry, freshly tanned leather, tobacco. Red currant, ripe cherry, this wine sneaks up on you and then boooooooom you time travel to an old barn, smokiness, wet hay, dark chocolate finish. The tannins could not be better. A quick tartness then a very mellow finish. The finish lasts for 5+ minutes. I honestly don’t know how to give this wine its proper recognition. Such an amazing piece of Napa history.

The 2001 Hirsch Vineyards "Donnie" Pinot Noir - a never released bottling made for us by Donnie Schatzberg of Precious Mtn Vyd. Only 50cs made. Absolutely singing and lively, despite being made in a barn with zero technology! — 12 years ago
Awesome wine. Very earthy — 13 years ago
Another 4th Friday for the books! What a variety this month!
At 24yrs old, it’s incredible how this drinks. Obviously past its prime, but by no means a lost bottle. Had never heard of this vineyard. Butterscotch, salted popcorn kernels, and cornbread note too. Still retaining some nice acidity! — 7 years ago
