David Hirsch planted his vineyard overlooking the Pacific Ocean in 1980, making it the oldest premium Pinot vineyard on the True Sonoma Coast. Between 1980 and 2001, the vineyard became one of the most sought-after sources of Pinot Noir grapes in California, supplying fruit to Littorai, Williams Selyem, Kistler, and many others.
In 2002, Hirsch began producing his estate Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays with winemaker Vanessa Wong. In 2010, Ross Cobb took over the winemaking, followed by our current producer, Anthony Filiberti, whose first vintage at Hirsch was in 2016.
In 2011, the company started converting the company's vineyards to biodynamic viticulture. By 2014, all 72 hectares of vineyards were fully biodynamically cultivated.
