12’ Red Car Sonoma Coast Pinot- FULL disclosure I sell this wine. I am really impressed with the balance, acidity, red fruit character of this wine, it really is delicious. I thought the 11’s were pretty good but these are a huge step up, I was afraid that the 12’ character was going to dominate*, but if this is an example of what can be made, then I hope I get to drink this a lot more, soon…

- by 12’, I mean that often times acid driven, lower alcohol wineries can have a stereotype, A knock against them and in warmer years, they can get warmer. This is really balanced with great fruit and lift.
