Perched on a ridge overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Fort Ross, Hirsch Vineyards embodies the essence of exceptional Pinot Noir on the extreme Sonoma Coast. Founded by David Hirsch in 1980, the vineyard’s core philosophy is centered around growing fruit and crafting site-specific wines that authentically reflect the profound characteristics of the terroir with each passing vintage. The commitment to site-specific terroir is further enhanced by the transition to biodynamic viticulture initiated by David in 2011, culminating in its completion in 2014. This holistic approach extends across the entire 72 acres, encompassing vineyards, gardens, and orchards.

Hirsch Vineyards proudly lies within the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA, enclosed within the West Sonoma Coast AVA, officially recognized in 2012.

Inspired by the great wines of Burgundy; this is 100% Hirsch estate Pinot Noir from the West Sonoma Coast AVA.  With a signifigant portion of the blend coming from 30+year old vines and aged in 27% new french oak; this wine is great to drink now or to wait for it to improve over the next few years.
