The complex, sexy, surprisingly open-knit 2001 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vineyard (the blend includes 10% stems) reveals a Burgundian-like nose of forest floor, mushrooms, and gamy animal scents intertwined with ripe apple skins, black raspberries, and black cherries. Ripe tannin is found in this full-flavored, finesse-styled Pinot. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
