Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir 2021

Critical Acclaim: 96 pts James Suckling; 94 pts Vinous; 93 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Tasting Notes: "So much fresh flowers with hibiscus and honey blossom. Dried citrus like lemon zest. Medium-bodied with fine tannins that are super integrated. Zesty finish. Lots of focus and beauty. The tannins are perfectly melted into the wine. Drinkable but even better in two to three years."- James Suckling. 

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate San Andreas Fault is a blend of thirty parcels across the vineyard. Vibrant and super-complex, the 2021 screams with precision right out of the gate. Dark red-toned fruit, dried herbs, mint and sage are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The purity of the flavors here is so compelling."- Vinous. 

"The 2021 Pinot Noir San Andreas Fault has very pure scents of blueberries, pomegranate, mushroom, damp earth and aniseed. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, spicy flavors. It has a chalky texture, bright, gently tangy acidity and a long, layered finish. It will benefit from 2-3+ years in bottle. Drink date: 2025- 2035."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. 

Varietal: Pinot Noir.
