Red Car

Red Car is known for their exciting and concentrated wines from California. Their winemaking approach employs both the modern and traditional to achieve the best of both worlds. Yields are low, and although they use oak, it is to enhance the wine’s flavor rather than overwhelm it. Their goal is to accentuate the varietal and let its natural characteristics speak. That means no fining or filtration, the use of natural yeasts, and making sure to achieve balanced ripeness within each grape. Red Car’s Box Car Syrah is grown in Sonoma Coast and has a bold, layered flavor composition.

Reviews
"Deep red.  Wild strawberry, raspberry and a hint of incense on the highly expressive nose.  Suave, sweet and silky in texture, with zesty acidity sharpening the flavors of red berry preserves, candied rose and spices.  Spreads out nicely on the back end, finishing long and sweet, with no obvious tannins."
