Bio:
I learned to make Pinot Noir at the Hirsch Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, Goldeneye in Anderson Valley, and Whitethorn Winery in Humboldt County.
For my debut 2017 Pinot Noir, I produced two barrels from two vineyards in Sta. Rita Hills, a mix of Mt. Eden and Swan clones, aged in 50% new oak and finishing at 13.4% alcohol.
Review:
“Deep brilliant red. Lively red berry aromas are complicated by suggestions of candied flowers, star anise and cola. Juicy, finely etched raspberry and cherry flavors show very good depth, and a deeper, darker licorice note emerges with air. Finishes on a spicy note, with sneaky tannins and strong, red-fruit-driven persistence.”-Vinous, Josh Raynolds, 91 points, January 2019
Renaissance Man:
I wrote a candid book about the Hirsch experience called “Slave to the Vine: Confessions of a Vagabond Cellarhand”, and now the sequel about making wine at Two Hands in Barossa Valley has been released, titled “Lucky Country: Confessions of a Vagabond Cellarhand”. Both are rated NC-17
