  • 2021 Heaven & Earth Pinot Noir
    Sonoma Coast
    Expand
    Located just outside the tiny coastal town of Occidental, the 4.5 acre Heaven & Earth vineyard has been a darling from the time that we made our first vintage; over 15 years ago. Planted to 3 distinct clones of Pinot Noir and farmed organically by Red Car from day one, this site produces some of our most distinguished Pinot – truly unique to the site itself. Taste: Wild blackberries, grenadine, dried flowers, baking spices.
    Suggested Retail Price: $80
  • 2021 Estate Pinot Noir
    Fort Ross - Seaview
    Expand
    We are proud that the Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir has become our benchmark wine, offering the ideal synthesis of grace, concentration, balance and flavor. First planted in 2005 to multiple suitcase selections and Dijon clones of Pinot Noir, the 2019 vintage from this site displays a level of intensity that is attributed to the maturing of these vines, as well as the favorable growing conditions. The well-drained Ohlson Ranch sandstone soils naturally limit vigor while the cool sunshine, moderated by the fog covered Pacific Ocean, maintains balanced ripening throughout the growing season. The bright acidity with beautifully integrated, soft and mature tannins provide the perfect balance to the red fruit tones that lift right out of the glass. Taste: Pomegranate, Wild Raspberry, crushed rose petal
    Suggested Retail Price: $80
  • 2023 Rosé of Pinot Noir
    Sonoma Coast
    Expand
    Our Rose of Pinot Noir is produced in a true Vin Gris style. We began with fruit hand-harvested during the coolness of night, from our tailored Rose vineyards, at an average of 21 Brix. We immediately whole cluster press this cold fruit, separating the juice & skins in a classic Vin Gris style resulting in a pale, salmon color. We ferment our Rose juice in a combination of neutral French Oak barrels and stainless steel, culminating in a low alcohol, bone-dry wine with racy acidity. This wine is lean, bright, and one of the best Rose wines on the planet.
    Suggested Retail Price: $33

Description

In 2000 Red Car produced its first vintage, 50 cases of Syrah, in a Los Angeles garage. Now, twenty years later, under the direction of
viticulturist, Greg Adams, and winemaker, Tanner Scheer, we farm five dramatic ridge-top vineyards in Occidental, Sebastopol, Freestone and Cazadero. This rugged terrain’s soil and coastal influence provide perfect growing conditions for our hallmark style: perfumed aromatics, bright fruit, crisp texture and uplifting acidity. We are passionately committed to producing wines of purity and focus that express the authentic varietal character and terroir of our unique coastal vineyard sites. An early leader in the formation of the proposed West Sonoma Coast AVA, we are committed to conserving this unique region, our vineyards and our community.
