"Cut from the same cloth as the 2016, the 2015 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard offers sensational strawberry and cranberry-like fruits as well as plenty of floral nuances. It stays tight and focused on the palate, with a terrific sense of elegance and purity. It has high yet integrated acidity, impeccable balance, and a great finish. This is another estate making a distinctly vibrant, fresh style of wine that’s going to appeal to the Burgundy lovers out there. It’s an incredibly educational tasting going through all these different single vineyards from Ted Lemon and these are interesting, singular wines. As a whole, the 2015s shows slightly more oomph compared to the 2016s, yet both vintages have vibrant acidity and balanced profiles. As expected, quantities are slightly up in 2016."
