2022 Hirsch 'Bohan-Dillon' Pinot Noir

David Hirsch was inspired to create the Bohan-Dillon Pinot Noir as an homage to the great village wines of France: a wine full of place and personality, made with the same care and attention as the top wines, yet at a good price.

The Hirsch Vineyards Bohan-Dillon Pinot Noir is produced using the same winemaking methods and with the same attention to detail as our other Pinots, thereby ensuring a wine of great quality, traditional varietal character, and sense of place.

The 2022 Bohan-Dillon is made from three West Sonoma Coast vineyards: Hirsch and Hellenthal, situated contiguous to each other, and the Heintz Ranch. This is the second vintage of Bohan-Dillon to include fruit from Heintz, which we selected due to its storied reputation and our faith in Charlie Heintz, a third generation West County farmer. The Heintz Ranch is located about 20 miles south of Hirsch, just east of the town of Occidental.

All three of these vineyards produce wines of character and personality, and together they result in a wine of great integrity and complexity.

TASTING & SERVICE NOTES:

The 2022 Bohan-Dillon opens with a profusion of Rainier cherries and plums. With air, notes of Tahitian vanilla, sarsaparilla, forest floor and wet river stones emerge. The palate is classic Bohan-Dillon: soft and round, with wonderful acidity and gentle tannins. The fruit is juicy and dark, with a persistent mouthfeel and long finish.

This wine is fabulously approachable now, and can be enjoyed without decanting. Allow it thirty minutes of air upon opening.
