More about the Red Car 2024 'Sonoma Coast' Pinot Noir: At the far western edge of the Sonoma Coast, where vineyards live under constant maritime influence, Red Car’s 2024 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir takes its shape. Drawn from six sites within ten miles of the Pacific, the wine is built around freshness, tension, and focus rather than ripeness or weight. It reflects exposure, wind, and cool air with uncommon precision, capturing the coastal conditions that define its origin. Bringing those sites into balance requires a precise hand. Winemaker Tanner Scheer approaches the Sonoma Coast bottling as an exercise in thoughtful assemblage, allowing each vineyard to retain its identity while contributing to a cohesive whole. The process rewards patience and discernment, yielding a wine that feels composed, shaped more by selection than manipulation. The finished wine reads unmistakably as Sonoma Coast. Vibrant fruit tones are tempered by savory nuance and lifted by natural freshness born of proximity to the Pacific. Each sip reinforces a simple truth: this Pinot Noir is shaped by place first, revealing depth and detail through subtlety rather than excess.
