Hirsch Vineyards Block 8 Pinot Noir 2019 Review
Welcome to a new category of Pinot Noir. Coming from a small block of the Hirsch vineyard (David Hirsch considered it his Cru) and consisting of vines almost thirty years old in just the right amount of drain-y, poor soil, this wine is a statement. It's at once soft and ethereal while at the same time herby and floral along with classic cherry vibes. It is saying wines from here can sing without the over-influence of oak. The palate is all about texture and subtlety with hints of floral and rosemary notes. It hits your palate in all the right ways.
