Hirsch Vineyards "Raschen Ridge" Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast 2016

94 Points Vinous

The 2016 Pinot Noir Estate Raschen Ridge is one of the more overt wines in the range. Ample broad and creamy it is wonderfully expressive today. The 40% whole clusters are not especially evident; what comes through most is the wine's textural resonance and breadth. Dark cherry plum spice and new leather build into the generous nuanced finish.
