"An addition to the range, 2014 Pinot Noir Estate Raschen Ridge, is a wine of exquisite finesse. Silky, gracious and lifted, the 2014 has a Chambolle-like sweetness and striking aromatic presence. Fine tannins give the wine its shape and overall feel, while hints of orange peel, sweet red cherry and herbs add to the wine's understated personality. The Raschen Ridge is named after America painter Henry Raschen, who once lived on the property, and emerges from a ridge that sits between the eastern and western sides of the estate. Perhaps because of that location, the wine captures an extraordinary amount of the nuance that has made Hirsch such a compelling site for the many winemakers who have coveted this fruit over the years. The 2014s are wines of transition at Hirsch. These are the last wines made by Ross Cobb, before he handed the reins over to Anthony Filiberti. I tasted most of the 2014s from barrel with Cobb in May 2015. Since then, the wines have developed very nicely, as these notes show. Naturally, it will be interesting to see what proprietor Jasmine Hirsch and Filiberti do in the next incarnation of this venerable Sonoma Coast estate."

A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
