"The 2015 Pinot Noir San Andreas Fault is soft, silky and nuanced, with lovely berry and floral character. Sweet red cherry, white pepper, mint and orange peel add attractive shades of brightness. Time in the glass brings out the wine's inner sweetness and sensuality. Medium in body and gracious in feel, the San Andreas is the most approachable and easygoing of the Hirsch 2015s . . . . 2015 will go down as one of the most unusual vintages at Hirsch. Harvest began on August 15, the earliest start ever. Yields came in at a punishing 0.89 tons per acre. 2015 is also a vintage of transition, as these are the last wines made by Ross Cobb. Sadly, there is no Bohan-Dillon Pinot, and the production of the Chardonnay (which I did not taste) is minimal. It will be interesting to see what new winemaker Anthony Filiberti and proprietor Jasmine Hirsch come up with in 2016 and beyond, as the Hirsch family's Sonoma Coast estate is undoubtedly one of the great vineyard sites in the United States."
