Eno Ratings: 

Eno Employee Thoughts: What I love about this wine is that the wine-makers allows the fruit to speak for itself! There's minimal intervention with this estate grown Pinot Noir and man does their grapes come out singing!

Winemaker Thoughts: Wild raspberry, rose petals, Asian spice

Varietal/s: 100% Estate Pinot Noir

Any Other Semi-Important Stuff: We are proud that the Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir has become our benchmark wine, offering the ideal synthesis of grace, concentration, balance and flavor. First planted in 2005 to multiple suitcase selections and Dijon clones of Pinot Noir, the fifth vintage from this site displays a familiar level of intensity that is attributed to the maturing of these vines, as well as the favorable growing conditions for 2014. The well-drained Ohlson Ranch sandstone soils naturally limit vigor while the cool sunshine, moderated by the fog covered Pacific Ocean, maintains balanced ripening throughout the growing season. 2014 was the second vintage we harvested fruit from the Calera clone, which has added a new level of concentration and complexity to this highly sought after wine. This is a perfumed Pinot Noir, with mouth-watering acidity and completely integrated tannins.

Red Car produces site-specific wines, focused on achieving bright acidity and lively aromatics. Sustainability is at the core of why we exist. We operate each part of the business from the belief that less is more. We are stewards of the land and of the people who consume our wine to ensure harmony with the Earth. We farm organically to protect the soil and our consumers from artificial chemical intervention. At each harvest, this philosophy makes its way into the cellar where we allow our wines to purely express each vineyard’s unique character. We achieve this by using native yeast fermentation and minimal intervention practices.
