Raschen Ridge Pinot Noir

Learn More About This Wine

As you walk along the western edge of the Raschen Ridge, cold winds off the Pacific buffet you, and tendrils of fog follow you amongst the vines. Here the ridge is a knife’s edge, exposed on all sides to the elements. These vines produce wines of body weight and a kinetic energy. Follow the Ridge to its eastern end, and you will discover a hidden vineyard. Protected, idyllic and sheltered, it’s like another world. From here all of Hirsch is laid out before you, and yet you’re hidden in a secret garden. These vines produce ethereal wines: delicate yet persistent, complex yet charming. 

Orange-red fruit is a hallmark of the Raschen Ridge Pinot Noir. Raspberries and strawberries intermingle with notes of orange peel, red hibiscus, pomegranate, bay laurel and anise. On the palate, the attack is lush and silky, with the energetic tannins that are highly characteristic of Raschen Ridge. The wine is already showing complex layers and incredible potential.
