Pretty nose of sweet black/blue fruit, twigs, spice, earth -- I'll bet there was some whole-cluster here. The fruit is ripe and sweet but there's a nice savory complement and the acid balance is good, with the fruit leaving a lasting impression. Very much a CA pinot but a very good one. Has held up well but not much reason to hold further.

Has lost some of its Hirsch strength but still sophisticated and lovely. Very drinkable but certainly on the decline.

Still in great shape. Complex. Lovely distinctive Hirsch flavor profile. Kirsch, black cherry, sappy deliciousness.
