"Harvested from the cooler seaward blocks of the Hirsch estate, West Ridge is a beauty in 2014, distilling the delicate essence of pinot noir and the coniferous imprint of the far Sonoma Coast into a wine that’s seamless, transparent and, as editor Josh Greene put it, 'unfettered.' Maybe it’s the suggestive power of the wine’s aromatic intensity, but even the bright red color seems a bit magical, as if glinting with inner light. Underneath its pink-rose-petal tone, there’s an earthen tug that weaves the aromas into a complex, lasting flavor—imagine the silken yet mineral texture of a great young Chambolle. This should age well—or decant it now for simply prepared wild salmon. (245 cases)"
