2019 | Red Car Wine Co. | Pinot Noir

This has both plump and racy elements, with a core of kirsch and plum fruit laced with light bramble and savory threads, ending with a juicy echo of anise and fruit.

Reviews:

• Jeb Dunnuck: Dark cherries, mulberries, dried herbs, and spice as well as a kiss of marine-like salinity emerge from the 2019 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, a medium-bodied, juicy, vibrant Pinot Noir with terrific overall balance and a clean, classy style. It’s slightly mid-weight, yet I still suspect it should evolve for a good 5-6 years.

• Vinous: The 2019 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is a gorgeous appellation-level wine. Sweet dried cherry, mint, kirsch, tobacco, incense and dried flowers are nicely lifted. This perfumed, silky Pinot is a real charmer. The Sonoma Coast Pinot is a blend from Heaven and Earth and the Estate vineyard.

Producer Information

Red Car was founded in 2000 when Mark Estrin, Carroll Kemp and Richard Crowell produced 50 cases of wine from a single ton of Syrah grapes in a Culver City garage. In a nod to their Los Angeles roots, the new venture was named Red Car after the trolley line that ferried riders across the region for the first half of the twentieth century. In 2004, they purchased 125 acres of land and began developing vineyards in the wild coastal ridges north of Sonoma County’s Bodega Bay, a region now known as the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA. Here, the interplay of warm sunshine, cool Pacific breezes and sandstone soils could yield the age-worthy wines of structure and complexity that had captured their imagination. Today, under the direction of viticulturist, Greg Adams, and winemaker, Tanner Scheer, Red Car farms five dramatic vineyards including Heaven & Earth, Zephyr Farms, Mohrhardt Ridge, Hagan, and The Estate. This rugged terrain's coastal influence—where the Pacific fog filters in daily through giant redwoods until warm sunshine sends it back out to the sea—provides perfect growing conditions for their hallmark style: perfumed aromatics, bright fruit, crisp texture and uplifting acidity. Red Car is passionately committed to producing wines of purity and focus that express the authentic varietal character and terroir of each unique coastal vineyard site. At the core, Red Car is a small, independent farming operation committed to conservation and sustainability.
