Our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a perfect blend of Red Car's most notable, cool-climate vineyards in Fort Ross, Freestone and Occidental. This wine is the Pinot Noir that allows our winemaker to sample each barrel to decide which blend best represents Red Car. Naturally low in alcohol and high in acidity, the 2016 is a mix of heritage and Dijon clones that were hand-sorted, then fermented with native yeast in small open top fermenters and aged in primarily neutral French oak barrels. This wine is a consistent reminder of what defines Sonoma Coast, a benchmark for both us here at Red Car Wine, and the region as a whole.

A tasty entry-level wine from Red Car that nicely captures the essence of the house style. Bright red berry and floral notes about, and a touch of whole cluster savoriness adds perfume and brightness. Drink it over the next handful of years.
