Score

"This is so crunchy and refined, with beautiful fresh strawberry, orange peel, citrus, flint and slate aromas. Medium-bodied, crisp and clean, with just a hint of tannin at the end. A blend of three vineyards: Hirsh 43%, Hellenthal 22% and Heitz 35%. What a gorgeous pinot. Drink now."

"The Bohan Dillon Pinot Noir is Hirsch's gateway to their lineup. As the 'entry-level' wine in the portfolio, this bottling outshines many everyday Pinots. It blends two coastal sites—Hirsch and Hellenthal—and an inland vineyard, Heintz. As a result, you get a wine that expresses both regions' characteristics. The 2023 vintage shows a light ruby colour in the glass that matches the wine aromatics, leading into elegantly effortless notes of juicy red berries, soft, sweet florals, and a whisper of coastal herbs—nothing overpowers. On the palate, a touch of minerality meets tart cranberries and fresh raspberries, all lifted by well-integrated, mouthwatering acidity. Made to be drunk young, this easy medium-bodied Pinot is a go-to for a roasted chicken dinner or a pizza night."

"The 2023 The Bohan-Dilon Pinot Noir is a blend of estate and purchased fruit and, with just 12.9% alcohol, is particularly easy to drink. It has a pale ruby color and alluring scents of raspberry, sour cherry, orange, licorice and bitters. The light-bodied palate offers crunchy, citrus-laced flavors. It's framed by soft, chalky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long finish laced with spice and floral perfume. 2,000 cases were made."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir The Bohan-Dillon is a very pretty, understated offering from Hirsch. Silky tannins wrap around a core of bright red-toned fruit, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and dried herbs. This mid-weight Pinot is all charm. Those qualities are best enjoyed over the next handful of years."
