2024 Hirsch ‘San Andreas Fault’ Estate Pinot Noir Fall Release 2026

The San Andreas Fault is Hirsch’s signature Pinot Noir. Bringing together fruit from approximately 30 distinct farming blocks, it’s the flagship wine from Hirsch, and the wine that represents the summation of our complex vineyard.

Over 40 years of farming and winemaking on the True Sonoma Coast, David Hirsch’s accumulated wisdom has shown us that the dominant influence on our farming and winemaking is the San Andreas Fault, which lies just half a mile from the Hirsch Vineyard. The wine that captures the complexity and energy of this geologic phenomenon is our San Andreas Fault Estate Pinot Noir, the wine that David calls “the Hirsch Hirsch.”

Tasting Notes

The 2024 San Andreas is immediately fragrant and expressive upon opening. Fresh picked strawberries and crushed red cherries lead, with notes of orange zest, cassis and graphite. With air, darker fruit notes emerge. On the palate, the attack is juicy and mouthwatering, with a generous, open-knit texture that makes this wine exceptionally approachable in its youth.

Service Notes

This wine is showing very well upon release. We recommend giving it an hour of air before drinking.
