2012 Williams Selyem, Hirsch Pinot Noir, Sonoma Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 91

Bright ruby-red. Pungent, fresh, mineral-accented red fruits and Asian spices on the nose. Lively and precise in the mouth, offering tangy cherry and raspberry flavors and a touch of orange pith. Finishes with very good clarity and cut, with dusty tannins adding shape. [Stephen Tanzer, 05/01/2014]

The 2012 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard displays a deep, black cherry fruitiness, a dark ruby color that is more saturated than some of its siblings’, moderate body, a similar texture as well as length, and reasonably good, well-integrated acidity. Although similar to the other Pinots, it is certainly well-made, and merits an excellent rating. [13/10/2014]
