The 2016 Hirsch East Ridge Estate Pinot Noir is a selection of the very best barrels from the finest and most expressive blocks on the East Ridge. This combination of low vigor and low yields results in a wine of dark-fruited concentration tempered by elegance and naturally low alcohol. The East Ridge Pinot Noir is a masculine and structured expression of the Hirsch Vineyard,with fantastic concentration and energy.
Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir East Ridge has a perfumed nose of fir, damp earth, black cherries, lavender, oolong tea leaves, dusty character and red berry sparks—savory and earthy. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with concentrated, dark, savory fruits framed by sturdy tannins and great freshness to lift the long, layered finish. RP

The 2021 Pinot Noir East Ridge has notably pure, detailed aromas this vintage: raspberry jam and crushed red cherries are accented by tones of lavender, mixed tea leaves, dried flowers, dusty earth and amaro. The medium-bodied palate explodes with highly concentrated, complex flavor layers. It has a seamless structure and a very long finish. It's fantastically expressive yet offers the depth and structure for cellaring. RP
