and chocolate define the bouquet

Not enormously concentrated but elegant and fragrant and with a layer of very fine tannins

almost velvet in texture

This wine is a beautifully rich expression of site over winemaking

A rich wine with fine acidity

Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA 2021 Vincent Gaudry and chocolate define the bouquetSo much fresh flowers with hibiscus and honey blossom. Dried citrus like lemon zest. Medium bodied with fine tannins that are super integrated. Zesty finish. Lots of focus and beauty. The tannins are perfectly melted into the wine. Drinkable but even better in two to three years. 96 pts James Suckling
