The Hirsch Vineyard, which can produce excessively rustic, muscular reds, has been tamed in the elegant, floral, medium-bodied 2002 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard. This offering could easily pass for a Nuits St.-Georges premier cru from Burgundy’s Cote d’Or. It displays peppery, earthy, compost-like elements, but the sweet, black cherries, plums, and autumnal scents make for an intriguing Pinot to drink over the next 4-5 years. Jordan appears to have a sure hand in extracting finesse and complexity from the world’s most fickle grape. Tel. (707) 942-4699; Fax (707) 942-5142
