Beautifully balanced, fragrant yet meaty, great intensity with great finesse, only 12.8% with so much more going on than some Cali Pinots with 14%+. In Pursuit of Bravo!

Okay... I buy Hirsch to get my allocation of Chardonnay. I pick up one or two of the Pinots and dutifully display them in the cellar. BUT... this is what I’ve been hoping... light garnet, slight browning. Impeccable lightness and brilliance in the glass. Ripe strawberry on the nose, a bit fuller in the mouth. This wine rocks on so many levels. Beautiful... simply beautiful.

What a special place. Iron oxide soil. Grand Cru block. Tasting these siblings side by side and I couldn’t be any happier!
