The Story Behind the Wine: David Hirsch established Hirsch Vineyards in 1980 on the rugged hills of the Sonoma Coast. Initially considered a risky venture due to the challenging growing conditions, Hirsch's vineyards soon became known for producing exceptional Pinot Noir, with fruit sought after by iconic wineries like Kistler and William Selyem. In 2002, David Hirsch took the next step by producing wines under his own label, focusing on showcasing the distinctiveness of his vineyard sites.

The 2021 "Bohan Dillon" Pinot Noir is crafted from fruit sourced from the Hirsch estate as well as the neighboring Heintz and Hellenthal vineyards. This vintage marks the first inclusion of grapes from the Heintz vineyard, renowned for its cool-climate conditions that produce expressive, elegant wines. The Bohan Dillon is designed as an homage to the "village" wines of Burgundy, offering a high-quality, terroir-driven wine at an approachable price​(
