@Delectable Wine : This is the Under the Wire Hirsch Vineyard Blanc de Noir, not a rosé.
I bought this as it was advertised as a rosé, but it’s just a Blanc de noir. Thankfully, it was a tasty mistake.
Killer fruit in the hands of MTP makes for a delicious bubbly. Opened alongside a 2019 Carboniste BdN as a comparison of Cali bubbles, they were on opposite sides of the spectrum. This UTW Hirsch was more big-house in profile whereas the Carboniste had a grower vibe. Pours almost orange in the glass. Fairly yeasty. Honeyed and orange marmalade. There is a perception of semi-high dosage here, but I’m thinking it’s due to how ripe the fruit is. Extremely creamy and layered. I’d be curious to know how these are at release, but this seems to be aging beautifully. Pop for freshness, but it’s not falling off a cliff any time soon. — 2 years ago
Golden in the glass. Big and structured. Tons of fruit. Almost too much for me. Jasmine, lemon curd, pear on the back palate. Touch sweet. 360 cases made. 13.7%. Clearly this wine was made with care and determination. Let’s see what the future brings. Will put this away for 3-4 years. — 20 days ago
Outstanding. Standing applause. It’s very well-balanced with some complexity and a long finish for a Pinot. The way this wine is made adds to the experience. — 3 months ago
A stunner. This west ridge is worth the wait in the cellar! — 6 days ago
Light ruby with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet, blueberry, and earthiness. On the bud, sour cherry and baking spices. Nice long finish. — 14 days ago
