David Hirsch is one of the pioneers of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, going on a hunch that the unique geology and climate would produce exemplary wine. For years, David sold his fruit to Sonoma’s top names, including Kistler and Williams Selyem. Ultimately, he decided that the best way to show the true expression of his terroir was to make his wine, which he started doing in 2002. His Hirsch 2021 Bohan-Dillon Pinot Noir pours a beautiful ruby with hints of magenta before bursting out of the glass with juicy cherry, currant, raspberry, rose petals, dried violets, forest floor and warm cinnamon. The palate is medium-bodied and caressing with a delicate tannin coating before a jolt of mouthwatering acidity brings it to a refreshing close.
