Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA 2021 Grandes Murailles green apple and lemon candySo much fresh flowers with hibiscus and honey blossom. Dried citrus like lemon zest. Medium bodied with fine tannins that are super integrated. Zesty finish. Lots of focus and beauty. The tannins are perfectly melted into the wine. Drinkable but even better in two to three years. 96 pts James Suckling
