Red Car Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

2012 Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir 750mL Red Car’s Estate Vineyard is continuing to prove itself, year by year, as an extraordinary site in the West Sonoma Coast. It is blessed with sandstone soils left from an ancient inland sea known as the Ohlson Ranch Formation. The vineyard sits at 1,000 feet in elevation in the northern most part of the chilly and mountainous Fort Ross – Seaview AVA. Its close proximity to the ocean moderates temperatures and makes it susceptible to rain and fog during the flowering season, which keeps yields low. The Fort Ross-Seaview appellation is one of the least developed areas along the California coast line and the crisp ocean air and colossal redwood trees create a unique sense of place. Tastes: Black Raspberry, Orange Zest, Redwood Spice
