A Decade On: Three Red Car Pinot Noirs
2015–2016 Red Car Back-Vintage Pinot Noir Trio
With nearly a decade of bottle age behind them, these three Red Car Pinot Noirs offer a compelling look back at the winery’s Sonoma Coast portfolio. The trio brings together the 2015 Estate Pinot Noir, 2015 Heaven & Earth Pinot Noir, and 2016 Doc’s Ranch Pinot Noir, each now showing the benefit of additional time in bottle. Beyond these three featured wines, we also have a broader selection of Red Car bottlings and large formats available below.

95 pts · James Suckling · October 2018 An exceptional sense of detail and precision on the nose of this with fine, red-berry and sous-bois notes and blue fruit in behind. The palate delivers scintillatingly fine, fresh and very elegant tannins that carve a long, linear shape and leave fresh raspberries and cherries on point. Excellent pinot from this elevated, coastal site. Drink or hold.
91 pts · Vinous · July 2018 The 2015 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard brings together the natural richness of the year with the tension and focus that are such signatures of this coastal site. Energetic and tightly wound, the Estate is one of the more reticent wines in the range, I imagine it will always remain a wine of structure first and foremost. (AG)

96 pts · James Suckling · September 2019 A complex and smooth-honed pinot that has aromas of violets and blueberries and sappy, leafy notes. There’s a gently meaty element, too, with spicy notes dealt into the fresh, ripe fruit. This has such integral fruit presence and a seamless, silky palate, infused with supple and glossy tannins. Very even, this holds cherry and blueberry flavors so long and so pure. Impressive concentration here. Drink or hold.

94 pts · James Suckling · October 2018 Violet-like florals and moist, fresh-tilled, earthy aromas with blueberries, gun flint, blood oranges and intense red berries. The palate has sturdy tannins that hold sway from start to finish in assertive, lip-smacking style and carry ripe red plums and cherries long on the finish. Drink or hold.
92 pts · Wine Advocate · April 2018 Pale ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Heaven and Earth has a nose of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and potpourri with hints of raspberry leaves and dried Provence herbs. Light-bodied, vibrant and refreshing in the mouth, it has a good core of red fruit and chewy tannins, finishing with an herbal lift. (LPB)
91 pts · Vinous · June 2018 Red Car's 2015 Pinot Noir Heaven & Earth is a powerful, virile wine. I am quite certain that there is plenty of nuance yet to emerge, but at present the 2015 is very much closed in on itself. Even so, the wine possesses impressive density, persistence and aromatic complexity. Readers will have to be patient with this inward, tightly wound Pinot. 91+ (AG)
