Hirsch Vineyard Estate "San Andreas Fault" Pinot Noir 2022

The San Andreas Fault is Hirsch’s signature Pinot Noir and is crafted to represent the entirety of this multifaceted Sonoma Coast vineyard. The 2022 San Andreas Fault has fruit from 28 distinct farming blocks. It is the flagship wine from Hirsch, and the wine that represents the summation of our complex vineyard.

TASTING NOTES

The 2022 San Andreas is classic, elegant and consummately Hirsch. The nose evokes our wild coastal mountains, with aromatics of dried sage, wild mint and wet stone adding interest to notes of Bing cherry and Alpine strawberries. There’s a hint of the Pacific Ocean in its mineral, saline character. The palate is juicy, fresh and high-toned, with lithe tannins and a very long finish. nThis wine is showing very well upon release, although we do recommend giving it an hour of air before drinking.
