Very primary and a little green but precise and inviting. Strawberry flowers, loads of red berries and a dash of spice. Blood brother to the Littorai block 9. Hold for optimum drinking or decant several hours.

Reductive for sure. Its a pure wine underneath, but this much reduction is hard to blow off. Hard to rate.

I really love the ‘14 pinots at Hirsch and the east ridge is no exception. The wines are structured but approachable. The fruit is bright and the overall feel is rather delicate. I thought it was drinking better now than the ‘12

Once it opened up the fruit complexity showed up. Great with stuffed chicken breasts. Lesley stopped me at (1) bottle 😔

Muscly on the nose. Lacelike and elegant on the palate. Such a cool wine coming from a vineyard that has been stressed by phylloxera.

Elegance to the absolute extreme! Perhaps a bit youthful and unleashed, yet so sexy and ever so convincing. A potpourri of fresh and perfectly ripe, almost electrical fruit, with a teasing glimpse (soubois) on what is lying beneath on the nose. A mesmerizing flavor intensity that is coming in waves, and the length… well it is still liingering. Beautiful!
