2009 Hirsch Vineyards "San Andreas Fault" Pinot Noir (magnum)

The San Andreas Fault is Hirsch Vineyards’ signature pinot noir and is crafted to represent the entirety of this complex vineyard. The 2009 San Andreas Fault has fruit from 21 distinct farming blocks within Hirsch Vineyards, thereby capturing a complete expression of Hirsch. It is named for the fault-line which marks the meeting of the North American and Pacific tectonic plates, snaking its way up the California coast and passing less than a mile from Hirsch.
The 2009 vintage was remarkable for the coolness and evenness of the weather throughout the growing season. This enabled excellent phenolic and physiological ripeness at moderate sugar ripeness. 2009 has produced wines of intense structure, high acidity, moderate alcohol, complex aromatics, cellar worthiness and most importantly, balance and site-specificity.
