2013 Hirsch Vineyards Pinot Noir Block 8 - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (11/11/2016)
I only had one bottle of this specific wine, so figured what the heck, let's open it. What a lovely wine. It had all the elegance I could want in Pinot Noir, with lovely fruit and earth tones, as well as an underlying tannic backbone that would (if I had more) carry it through a number of years in the cellar. I very much liked the balance, and will order more of this next vintage.
