This is where Pinot meets plate tectonics. Some wines tell the story of a grape; this one tells the story of the Earth itself.
The Earth Moves
Grown in the fractured soils where two massive tectonic plates collide, the San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir is a profound, high-definition expression of the Hirsch estate’s wildest terrain. Dark cherry and black plum pull you in first, but what unfolds is deeper: layers of black tea, graphite, and a crackling minerality that feels like tasting the stone itself. There’s an unmistakable energy here, a vibrating core of tension and structure.
Crafted only from the blocks most dramatically shaped by the fault line, this wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged with restraint. It doesn’t shout; it commands.
How to Enjoy
This is a wine for those who chase the soul of Pinot Noir. Decant for an hour and pair with duck, game, or complex mushroom dishes to match its profound character.
