Oct 27th, 2023A tasting of nine 2012 Sonoma Coast Pinots. This was the other Kutch in the group. Surprisingly came in last place - had some aldehyde so wonder if it was flawed

Jul 20th, 2021Beautifully resolved. Opaque ruby color and still looking youthful. Amazing tart red cherry fruit on the palate with hints of oak and spice. Lots of lively acid, a bit of tannin balance out the lengthy finish.

Oct 31st, 2017Figured it was time to try some of these to see how they are progressing. The acid is really upfront and will probably preserve the fruit underneath for another decade at least. Very dark fruit, lots of spice and just a touch of green. This will only improve and it will be really interesting to see how these develop into secondary flavors but I get the feeling that's going to be a slow go.
