Block 8 was often referred to as 'grand cru' by the late David Hirsch, who really pioneered planting in this area. It's an incredibly gravelly part of the vineyard (some 70-80% of the soil is rock), and has a high proportion of red iron oxide influence. The wines are distinct for their supple, elegant tannins, explosive, complex fruit aromatics and concentration from the deep root systems here. Typical of Hirsch, it's driven by red fruit aromas and flavours, with a luscious, luxury feel on the palate.
