Red Car West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021 Review
There's the Sonoma Coast, then there's the West Sonoma Coast — an AVA on the extreme edge of California's coastline known for its uniquely elegant wines. This bottling comes from the West Sonoma Coast, and the freshness and balance are immediately apparent. It has expressive notes of raspberry, blackberry, and cherry, with hints of baking spices and earth. The palate is juicy, silky, refreshing, and just all-around a joy to drink.
