"A core of smoky saline aromatics leap out of the Failla Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir. With ample ripeness at 14.2%, this wine balances the depth of red and blue fruits with the aroma of smoked soy sauce and rich earthen umami. The use of whole cluster is all over the wine with spicy dried herbs draped over the beautiful red and black fruits, sweet notes of rose water and a grilled blood orange adds zest to the dark, smoked sea salt core of this undeniably coastal Sonoma Pinot Noir."
