Aside from the fact that the graphic designer in me is a sucker for Red Car’s packaging, the Sonoma Coast Rosé Of Pinot Noir 2014 definitely exceeded expectations. Composed of 100% cool-climate Pinot Noir, harvested at low brix and whole cluster fermented, it’s a great value given the care and quality in production. Fabulous notes of pie cherry, rose petals and a touch of spice—the lean, racy acidity and subtle texture are almost Provençal in expression. The finish too is glorious, fruit-laden and lengthy.
