Hirsch Vineyard is recognized as one of the premier sites for pinot noir in the new world. David Hirsch planted his vineyard overlooking the Pacific Ocean in 1980, making it the oldest premium pinot vineyard on the True Sonoma Coast. Since then it has become one of the most sought-after sources for pinot noir grapes in California, providing fruit to Littorai, Williams Selyem, Kistler and many others.
In 2002, Hirsch began producing its own estate pinot noirs and chardonnays from this complex, cool-weather site. These are wines of balance, concentration, complexity and site-specificity.The 2021 Bohan-Dillon is made from three West Sonoma Coast vineyards: Hirsch and Hellenthal, situated contiguous to each other, and the Heintz Ranch. This is the second vintage of Bohan-Dillon to include fruit from Heintz, which was selected due to its reputation and their faith in Charlie Heintz, a third generation West County farmer. The Heintz Ranch is located about 20 miles south of Hirsch, just east of the town of Occidental.
All three of these vineyards produce wines of character and personality, and together they result in a wine of great integrity and complexity.
This wine is fabulously approachable now, and can be enjoyed without decanting. Allow it thirty minutes of air upon opening.
