Hirsch Vineyards is a cornerstone of the Sonoma Coast, with some of the most prized and remote vineyard land on the continent. Founded by David Hirsch in 1980, the estate was among the first to recognize the potential of the Fort Ross-Seaview ridgeline. Today, daughter Jasmine Hirsch leads the winemaking with a transparent, terroir-first philosophy. The 'Bohan Dillon' cuvée is crafted from younger vines and select barrels from the estate, offering an early-drinking expression of Hirsch’s coastal character.
-
WINEMAKER: Jasmine Hirsch
-
FARMING: Certified Organic
-
VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
-
TERROIR: Estate fruit from several vineyard blocks at 1,500 feet elevation, just 3 miles from the Pacific. The soils are diverse, dominated by fractured sandstone, shale, and decomposed marine sediment. The climate is marked by coastal fog, wind, and dramatic diurnal shifts.
-
VINIFICATION: Fermented with native yeasts in small open-top fermenters. Gentle extraction via punchdowns. No additions beyond minimal sulfur.
-
AGING: Aged for 11 months in French oak barrels (17% new), then bottled unfined and unfiltered.
-
TASTING NOTES: Fresh and lifted, with bright red fruits—cranberry, raspberry, and pomegranate—woven through tones of rose petal, crushed herbs, and forest floor. Lively acidity and fine tannins give balance and persistence.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Duck breast, mushroom risotto, miso-glazed salmon, or lentil stew with thyme.
-
