2023 Hirsch ‘Reserve’ Estate Pinot Noir Spring Release 2026

Our Reserve Estate Pinot Noir is a serious and classic wine, with great focus, refinement and intensity. David Hirsch dreamed for many years of making a Reserve Pinot Noir from his vines. Since our first Reserve in 2009, we have endeavored to capture the most complete and powerful expression of the Hirsch Vineyard through selecting our very best and oldest vineyard blocks for this wine.

The Reserve is crafted by our winemaker through a careful blending process that begins by identifying the finest vineyard blocks from a given vintage, then selecting the finest individual barrels from those blocks. The goal is to capture the entirety of our complex vineyard in its highest form, making the Reserve Estate Pinot Noir the most striking and complete representation of the Hirsch estate.

Tasting Notes

The 2023 Reserve shows remarkable early complexity and focus. Upon opening, tart cherry and cranberry dominate, with notes of plum skin, resin and wet stone emerging with air. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied, persistent and high-toned. Expressive and complex in its youth, this wine has the acidic potential to go the distance in the cellar.

Service Notes

We recommend cellaring this wine for 2-3 years, but it may be enjoyed young with a few hours of air.
