About Hirsch
Perched on a ridge overlooking the Pacific Ocean, David Hirsch founded the vineyard in 1980 to grow fruit and make site-specific wine. From the start all efforts have been on the growing of fruit that makes wines profoundly characteristic of the site vintage after vintage. In the wines of Hirsch Vineyards you find a natural balance and consistency in the harmonious resolution of opposites.
What Hirsch Say
The wines from Hirsch Vineyards give the passionate drinker an experience of the clash of opposites meeting in Nature and Life: the edge of the continent washed by the sea; the eviternal grinding of the North American and Pacific plates along the San Andreas Fault; the wet winters and dry summers caused by the ocean and desert climates; the dripping rainforest and parched pastures; the contact and intermingling of cultures: Native American, Mexican, Russian, European; the change in rural economy from logging and ranching to winegrowing.
What Jennifer loves
Hirsch Vineyards and the wines from Hirsch are raising the flag for the West Sonoma Coast. Sophisticated yet approachable, the wines in the stable show exactly what the terroir of WSC does best.
