"The 2019 Rosé Hirsch Vineyard is a fabulous, wonderfully complex, dynamic wine. I don’t know how it will age, but most bottles will be long gone before that is an issue. The Hirsch Rosé, done as a light saignée, hails from Raschen Ridge, one of the best sections of the vineyard and also the source of some of the very best fruit on the entire ranch. Wild, dynamic and super-expressive, the 2019 is so beguiling. The aromatics alone are wild. Those qualities follow through to the palate. Game, dried herbs and a whole range of savory notes emerge with air. There is so much going on here. Dosage is 6 grams per liter." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 Sparkling Rosé Hirsch Vineyard comes from Hirsch’s Raschen Ridge vineyard. This saignée rosé has a medium cherry-pink color and layered aromas of strawberry, raspberry, peach, saline, iodine and toast. The palate is unapologetically fruity, though mineral and autolytic nuances add complexity, and it has a luxuriously creamy texture. Its vibrant acidity is balanced by six grams per liter dosage, and it has a long, energetic finish." -Erin Brooks
