Hirsch Vineyards
Block 8 Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Took a while to open up. Nice fruit came out after an austere opening. A little green, but I wonder if it might settle to freshness with a few more years.

Stated to open up nicely after 30 minutes, should have decanted. I think the wine is at its peak and should be drunk now, starting to get a bit of leather and prune elements. Nice cherry, raspberry aromas.

The 2017 Block 8 has a Kirsch like quality. Pronounced fruit that is pretty but also pretty single noted. Certainly a tasty wine but not exactly one to linger in thought. It is what it is.

Blows away any Pinot I’ve had. Absolutely ridiculous

Still super tight, dark fruit and hint of black tea

Another 4th Friday for the books! What a variety this month!
What a pull from @Weston Eidson ! I’ve only had one other Hirsch Pinot and both have been outstanding. Touch of mint on the nose. Cherry, raspberry and rhubarb all flexing muscles. Racy acidity and killer texture.
@Jasmine Hirsch @John Howard : 👏🏼👌🏼

This a prodigious young PN that blossomed after a couple hours in the decanter. Still very primary. Cherry and cedar dominant with significant depth. If you can resist hold for a couple years.
