title: Hirsch 2011 East Ridge Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
description: Winemaker Ross Cobb, formerly with Williams Selyem and Flowers, did his best, but this Pinot tastes acidic and labored. It has lean flavors of strawberries and raspberries and new French oak. The wine isn't showing well now, seemingly a victim of the harsh vintage. Its future is problematic.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: East Ridge
