Hirsch Vineyards, San Andreas Fault Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, 2022
Hirsch Vineyards sits in a remote, rugged corner of the Sonoma Coast, where steep slopes, Pacific winds, and fractured geology shape some of California’s most site-driven Pinot Noir. The San Andreas Fault bottling draws from multiple vineyard blocks that straddle shifting tectonic plates, with soils ranging from sandstone and shale to decomposed marine sediment. Farming is meticulous and regenerative, focused on low yields, vine balance, and a deep respect for the land.
The 2022 vintage is layered and precise, opening with red cherry, wild strawberry, and cranberry, followed by subtle savory and mineral notes that reflect the vineyard’s complex soils. The palate is energetic and finely structured, with bright acidity and firm yet polished tannins providing tension and length. The finish is long and composed, capturing both the wildness of the Sonoma Coast and Hirsch’s restraint.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Sonoma Coast, California, United States
Farming: Regenerative, sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Fresh, structured, and site-driven
