I was back home last week and had several occasions to drink some excellent wine. The first at a good friend's included a 2000 Littorai Hirsch vineyard and a 2000 Littorai Savoy vineyard, both pinot noirs. I'm a BIG fan of this winery but the Hirsch was beyond my expectations. Mature now, with that characteristic tannic punch that distinguishes it for me from many other US pinots. Super stuff. The Savoy was also mature and it stayed in it's more gentler, cote de Beaune style pinot. With softer tannins and lighter body. My favorite continues to be the Hirsch
