2012 Red Car ‘Estate Vineyard’ Pinot Noir

AG 92 The 2012 Chardonnay Estate Vineyard has come together beautifully since I tasted it last year. The most intense and phenolic of the Red Car Chardonnays I tasted, the 2012 is firing on all cylinders today. Bright veins of salinity give the wine its considerable structure. Lemon peel, white flowers and white pepper add nuance on the striking finish. I tasted the 2012 from magnum.
