2023 Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA Israel destemmed and skin-macerated for 20The San Andreas Fault is the flagship wine from Hirsch, and the wine that represents the summation of our complex vineyard. The 2021 is overflowing with fresh red cherries with hints of ripe peach, earth, wet stone, anise and mint. The palate is juicy and concentrated, with a long finish. There is a density of fruit here that marks this as one of the finest vintages ever produced of this wine. from the winemaker Arrived mid March
