(124 views) | | | Tasted by bdhanna on 3/13/2023 & rated 94 points: I agree with my tasting note of 3 months ago, this wine is delicious and at its peak !!
Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, removed easily. Consumed at dinner with friends. This balanced wine displayed great fruit and revealed Burgundian complexity as it opened. Medium ruby color with modest oxidation and medium clarity. Aromas of red cherry and cranberry. Flavors of bing cherry, pomegranate, rhubarb and forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium to long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir that may have more years of life remaining, fortunately I still have two bottles of this vintage remaining in the cellar. A great fruit sources from the fabled Hirsch Vineyard and great winemaking from Adam Lee and Ryan Zepaltis combine to consistently produce a fine Pinot Noir.

A great fruit sources from the fabled Hirsch Vineyard which is located on a series of ridge tops ranging in elevation from 1,200 to 1,550 feet near the Pacific 12 miles north of Jenner in the far west part of the Sonoma Coast appellation of Sonoma County. Dijon 114, Dijon 777, Pommard and Swann clones planted on soils of Hugo gravelly loam and Hugo-Josephine complex. All of these elements and great winemaking from Adam Lee and Ryan Zepaltis combine to consistently produce a fine Pinot Noir.

(1122 views) | | | Tasted by pjhr on 8/14/2015 & rated 92 points: Delicious ripe dark cherries and earthy flavors and aromas with lovely acidity and balance. (967 views) | | | Tasted by gutt22 on 1/18/2015: 14.1% alcohol. Black cherry color. Initially quite tight on the nose, but it opens up with vigorously swirling over time to reveal black cherry, blackberry, plum, and earth notes. In the mouth, also a bit tight, but showing deep blackberry and cherry fruit, tinged by the plum notes, and a strong spike of acidity. Earth and light spice show through on the finish, with a touch of vanilla. Another 2-3 years necessary at least.

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma Coast * Sonoma Coast AVA (Wikipedia)
