Hirsch Vineyards San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir

Sonoma Coast AVA, USA
Named for the San Andreas Fault running through the vineyard, this single-block wine from the fault-line soils delivers a more structured, age-worthy expression with dark fruit and profound mineral tension.
complement
The earthy, mineral depth of this Pinot Noir resonates profoundly with truffle and porcini; the wine's acidity keeps the rich risotto from feeling heavy.
classic main
complement
The fault-line wine's darker fruit and firmer tannin structure finds its match in game meat's iron richness; juniper amplifies the wine's wild herbal character.
established main
bridge
The wine's iron-minerality and dark-fruit depth harmonise with roasted beet's earthiness; walnut adds textural richness that matches the wine's structure.
suggested starter
contrast
The wine's coastal salinity and bright acidity cut through raw lamb's richness; capers and preserved lemon amplify the contrast creating a vivid interplay.
