93 pointsWine & Spirits: "Blended from cool vineyards like Hagan, Platt and Red Car’s own hypercoastal estate, Carroll Kemp’s 2014 appellation wine is a bit shy right now but crunchy and completely refreshing, presenting trim, breezy strawberry and herb flavors over a subtle sandalwood imprint of oak. It needs decanting or a few years in the cellar to allow the fruit to expand around its clean, mineral intensity. (Oct 2017)"

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Light and earthy, this is made in a restrained style that shows focused, fresh flavors of citrus, cherry and pomegranate. Acid-driven and nuanced on the midpalate in white pepper and cardamom, the finish brings a rush of fruit flavors. Alcohol 13%. (Jun 2018)"

Producer notes: "The 2014 vintage was a long and moderate growing season that yielded consistently high quality fruit. Our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a perfect blend of Red Car’s most notable, cool-climate vineyards in Fort Ross, Freestone and Occidental. Naturally low in alcohol and high in acidity, the 2014 is a mix of heritage and Dijon clones that were hand-sorted, then fermented with native yeast in small open tops and aged in 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."
