95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate is one of the finest wines I have tasted from Red Car. Rich and explosive, with tremendous textural intensity, the 2021 possesses remarkable energy, especially on the expansive finish. The Estate is a blend taken across eight acres of vineyards planted with a multitude of clones, and that complexity yields a Pinot of real distinction. Drink: 2024-2033. (Jan 2024)"
94 points/'Cellar Selection' Wine Enthusiast: "Bright cherry, raspberry and cinnamon flavors swirl on the nose of this Pinot, while the palate shows flavors of cocoa powder, plum skin and caramel before a rich and tannic finish emerges and lasts for over a minute. This wine is built for the cellar, so give it five to ten years to develop and soften. Alcohol 13.5%. (Sep 2024)"
92 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A bright medium red color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard is spicy and floral on the nose with notes of potpourri, dried roses, cinnamon, and pomegranate. Medium-bodied, it has grippy fine tannins, a coiled, nervous feel, bright acidity, and dusty earth through the finish. A tightly wound wine, it’s going to benefit from another year or more in bottle. Drink: 2025-2035. (Jun 2024)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "Gently mulled pomegranate and black cherry flavors glide through prettily, infused with dried anise and iris notes along the way. Silky finish. Drink now through 2030. 375 cases made. (6/10/24)"
