Wine Details
Price:
$60.00 per bottle
Description:
This looks to be the last vintage I make from this vineyard and it's been a good run. I made a Hirsch sparkling wine from this year also but it won't be available for 2-3 years. The price of the fruit now would require me to charge twice as much as I do now and I don't want to do that. Twenty-three years ago I wrote on a home wine label that 'we were dedicated to producing fine wine because we couldn't afford it!' and I don't want to make my wine unaffordable to myself! As with each Hirsch, the color is extremely dark for a pinot, the nose has an explosive amount of fruit and spice. The nose has lots of cinnamon and stone fruit with creme overtones. Full rich and round in the mouth, warm and smooth. The finish is still evolving, it took the '99 a year to really come around. Enjoy this wine in 2-3 years,(and on) with big food and hope we see this fruit in the future. There is only half as much of this vintage as last year! Sob!
