Hirsch Vineyards Raschen Ridge Pinot Noir 2021

This Pinot Noir was made in the style of Olivier Jouan, but the wine had a hollow core.

In the glass

The colour was that of a deep Pinot. There was a faint spritz, and the nose felt closed in and stifled. It was thought the wine might still need to open up; it was also thought it would simply stop where it was. As the wine went on, it tasted watered down.

Site

The wine comes from the Sonoma Coast, in the North Coast area of Sonoma County, California.
