On the nose, the 2021 Reserve is already showing a complex interplay of fruit and savory aromatics. It opens with notes of fresh dark cherries and cassis, with hints of oyster shell and earth. On the palate, the attack is silky and sapid, with a seductive fullness. The tannins are fine-grained, long and impressive. This is a complex, structured wine that will benefit from time in the cellar.
The Hirsch Reserve Pinot Noir is a selection of our best barrels from the oldest and finest vineyard blocks at Hirsch. It is the highest expression of this complex and deeply expressive site, and a true reserve of very limited production. The 2018 Reserve is red-fruited with hints of earth and mint. Classic Hirsch tannins provide backbone and gravitas. A true reserve of very limited production.
