2012 Red Car Zephyr Farms Vineyard Pinot Noir SOnoma Coast

Winemaker Notes This Pinot Noir is a wine of wonderful paradox as it combines concentration of fruit and spice with freshness on the palate. It has quickly risen up the ranks to become a house favorite with the RedCar team. The tannins are more pronounced than their other Pinot Noirs, attributable to the intense afternoon winds in the vineyard (Zephyr was the Greek god of the west wind). Yet, the mouthfeel and body of the wine remains delicate and silky.
