June 9, 2022 - Loads of raspberries and ripe cherry
August 8, 2021 - Great Pinot. I think it’s at it’s peak now - another year or so and it will fade (I think). Had it with filet and bearnaise and it was fantastic.
June 23, 2021 - Last bottle. Love the wine.
April 28, 2021 - Soft cherry, red plum, earth notes, gentle tannins - in all, very gracious, refined, correct. A versatile profile: equally in concert with sautéed soft shell crab and a steak au poivre. A pleasure to drink, and to recall doing so.
Certainly in a drinking window, but I don't believe it has more than another year before it fades.
Rated +2 on a scale of -1 to +3.
August 6, 2020 - Coravin #1. Nose is all mushroom, earth and (good clean) funk. Low tannin Med high acid. All sweet raspberry on the front, but the mid palate and finish do leave you wanting more. Still delicious. Earth carries over to the palate too.
June 13, 2017 - Now in its prime. But not in any danger of going away anytime soon.
January 19, 2017 - 13.9% alcohol. Surprisingly black cherry color. Stunning nose -- the picture of Pinot cherry fruit, with earthy notes backing it up. Probably even more compelling in the mouth. Bursting with glorious black cherry fruit and lighter notes of earth and baking spice. Bright acidity and a long, juicy finish. Stunningly good. A
October 25, 2016 - The combination of Hirsch and a cool season create a wonderful burgundian Pinot. I'm always a big fan of wines from this location, as there is such a great expression of terroir.
July 10, 2016 - Delicious. Very tasty. Went well with turkey burgers.
January 10, 2016 - This wine made a stellar showing at our dinner party of 1/10/2016 (decanted 3 hours prior to dinner for one hour, then returned to the bottle). It was intensely floral and very feminine, with a strong midpalate and a persistent finish. One would never know that 2011 was a difficult vintage in California from this wine; best 2011 Pinot I've had. Everyone was impressed.
