This new offering from Sequana and winemaker James MacPhail is a blend of their Russian River single vineyards. It is very approachable and food friendly with flavors of bright red fruits including raspberry, strawberry, red cherry, with a touch of spice and cola for intrigue.
A bright fruity Pinot that is an easy sipper. A good “go-to” Pinot, Boxcar is not as big as it’s Red Car brother but has plenty of Pinot flavor for any Pinotphile. Because of the well balanced fruit, acid and tannins, this is an excellent food pairing wine. Check out Red Car Wines
Red Car Trolley Pinot is an well made Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Rich, ripe and medium to full bodied. Great flavors of blackberry, cherry, plum and raspberry with enough spice to be interesting. Still young, give this wine a bit of time to open to experience it’s full flavor potential.
Sequana Vineyards is a joint venture between Pinot genius James MacPhail (MacPhail Family Wines) and the Hess Collection. Hess let’s James do his Pinot thing and the result is a delicious full bodied Pinot Noir with complex flavors of black cherry, smokiness, spice and plum with even a hint of bacon. Get your lips around anything James MacPhail puts in a bottle.
A really great Napa Cabernet value. Very rich flavors and gentle tannins make this Cab a real winner. Not terribly complex but a wine that is a pleasure to sip and enjoy. Pair this with a slow cooked, well spiced Texas Brisket (hold the sauce) and you’ll be a happy camper!
