{"product_id":"hirsch-vineyards-pinot-noir-east-ridge-2023","title":"Hirsch Vineyards, Pinot Noir East Ridge, 2023","description":"Hirsch calls East Ridge its \"mountain wine\": a regal, powerful Pinot Noir and one of the most age-worthy bottles the estate makes. If you think of Sonoma Coast Pinot as light and delicate, this is the counterargument. It comes from some of the oldest vines on the property (David Hirsch began planting the ridge in 1990), growing in shallow mountain soils. Around 80% of the old vines have phylloxera, which saps their vigor, slows ripening and keeps yields in the oldest sections extremely low, so the vines have to be farmed one by one. 2023 was the coolest, longest season at Hirsch in decades, and the harvest was the latest since the 1990s. Jasmine Hirsch says 2023 isn't a tannic vintage, but East Ridge bucks the trend: its usually chewy structure comes out long and silky, with the pure, Old World feel she sees in the vintage as a whole. Only 465 cases were made from biodynamically farmed estate fruit in the tiny Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. You can drink it now if you give it a few hours of air, and the vintage's high acidity means it will also age for a long time.","brand":"Skurnik [MSK]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50692562550841,"sku":"NYC-W-MSK-`US-HIR-50-23`-100726-5","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-4881.jpg?v=1791486918","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/hirsch-vineyards-pinot-noir-east-ridge-2023","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
