2013 Zephyr Farms Pinot Noir
Vineyard
Surrounded by magnificent redwood trees and carved out of the lows hills above Freestone sits the magical seven-acre vineyard known as Zephyr Farms. Deep coastal fog and powerful westerly winds yield the tiniest berries imaginable with thick skins, resulting in a wine that is highly perfumed, with an intensity of flavor at a very high natural acidity and an exotic complexity. Yields vary widely at this site and 2013 was a lower yielding vintage than 2012. As a result, the berries were even smaller and more concentrated, making the 2013 Zephyr Farms Vineyard Pinot Noir especially terroir driven. Aromas include a distinct conifer bouquet and flavors include a mélange of blue fruit, bright red fruit, orange citrus and dried laurel berries.

Philosophy
Red Car is focused on growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah in a network of cold-climate vineyards on the edge of the Pacific in the West Sonoma Coast. We are hands-on farmers, part of a small cadre of wineries in our region who are fortunate to grow a large majority of our own fruit. For several years now we have worked hard to go beyond sustainability and have integrated the concepts and principles of organic, biodynamic and permaculture systems into our farming as we search for nature’s ideal pathways. Our wines are made in small lots utilizing minimalist intervention techniques like native yeast fermentation, gravity flow, and natural acid.
