A classic example of the great wines made by Greg Brewer and Steve Clifton, this wine is drinking beautifully. A hypothetical hybrid between a central coast pinot and a Grand Cru burgundy, this wine exhibits a nose of sour cherries, strawberries, with an undercurrant of spice and earth. Seamless finish. An absolute pleasure to drink. — 9 years ago
Excellent balance between fruit, body, and earth. Would buy again. — 12 years ago
Good typicity. Dried cranberry, red currant, red plum, dried rose, violets, organic and inorganic earth, moderate level of VA, normal for the style. Bridge between modern and old style. Paired well with a debate concerning the carrying capacity of European vs African swallows, ascertaining the guilt of a witch, and a near-fatal battle with a bloodthirsty rabbit :) — 10 years ago
A medium ruby-red, the'07 Red Car Pinot Noir 'Heaven & Earth - La Bohème Vineyard' is scented with seductive red raspberry, Dr. Pepper and savory herb aromas. Some earthy overtones on the spicy red fruit mouth flavors. Surprising rich and dense given its lighter color. Some noticeable heat on the vibrant spicy finish. — 10 years ago
One of the best bottles of GC Burg I've had. This is in perfect form right now. Showing a perfect intermingled harmony between fruit and tertiary vinous character. Not over oaked at all. Very tart intact red and black cherries with acrid pomegranate and bramble. A kiss of brett with moist, mossy soil like earth including a white button mushroom presence. Dusty stone minerality with a cedar and light pepper finish. This is quite wonderful. I think 99 burgundy is just so spot on to drink now. — 9 years ago

Dark cherry & dark raspberry heaven. Add juicy strawberries, dry cranberries, pomegranate juice, silky chalk & minerality, dark earth and long finish. It's in top form. — 9 years ago
