Note di degustazione
The Hirsch West Ridge Pinot takes from blocks only on the western ridge of the vineyard, primarily from block 7. With spiced floral aromatics, and a spiced conifer palate with rocky-saline mineral lines, the West Ridge is more brooding than the San Andreas, with more apparent drying tannin. Long spice-smudged finish with a structural focus, and lots of flavour concentration with still a lighter body. Very much a spice-focused wine. (ECB)

Hirsch's 2012 Pinot Noir Estate West Ridge is bold, intense and savory, with vibrant acidity and layers of chalk-infused minerality that are particularly pronounced at this early stage. Today, the West Ridge is a bit angular and compact. It will be interesting to see if it fleshes out with time in bottle.
