A Wine You Should Be Drinking: Hirsch Vineyards ‘West Ridge Estate Pinot Noir 2022
A few years ago my friend Amy warned me; “I see a lot more pinot noir in your future.” She wasn’t wrong. Over the past few years, I have started studying and drinking the grape so many people love. I like the range of pinot noir. It can be light and zippy or rich, broody, and elegant.
Rich, broody, and elegant. That’s what this Hirsch Vineyards ‘West Ridge’ Estate Pinot Noir 2022 is to me. If you like a fuller-bodied style of pinot noir this is for you. I highly recommend letting it get some air in the glass or decant the bottle. It’s delightful straight out the bottle, but this is the type of pinot noir that over time gets more interesting and complex with great ageability.
I’m leading a seminar entitled Around the World with Pinot Noir at Food & Wine Classic Aspen this year and I am featuring a different Hirsch vineyard specific wine.
Amy was right after all.
