2023 Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA Domaine des Sablonnettes At the winery the grapes

At the winery the grapes were destemmed into a redwood fermenter

it has been used for years in Four Roses Bourbon at a low level to add dimension and layers of complexity

and any juice collecting in the bottom of the tank was drawn away in order to prevent alcoholic fermentation from beginning

2023 Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA Domaine des Sablonnettes At the winery the grapesThe 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
