The 2024 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is bright, effusive and charming. Gorgeous aromatics meld into a core of vibrant red/purplish fruit. Silky tannins give this mid-weight Pinot tons of charm. All the elements are so well balanced. Kirsch, pomegranate and a touch of whole-cluster exotic spice linger. (Drink between 2026-2032)
Made just like the Sonoma County bottling from vines planted 1972–1999 at 500–1,400 ft, 3-8 miles from the Pacific on mixed soils. Hand-harvested (like all Kutch wines) 30 August to 26 September. 32 barrels produced.
Transparent garnet. Rich, sweet and easy to like. A bit more of a framework than the Sonoma County bottling. (JR)
The 2024 Pinot Noir “Sonoma Coast” bottling from Jamie Kutch includes fifty percent whole clusters in this vintage and tips the scales at an even thirteen percent octane. The wine takes a bit of air to spread its wings, but once it does so, it offers up a beautifully complex bouquet of black cherries, dark berries, black tea, a superb base of soil, a nice touch of sweet stem tones, woodsmoke and a hint of cedar from the older oak casks in which the wine is raised. On the palate the wine is bright, elegant and full-bodied, with a superb core of black fruit, excellent soil signature and grip, fine-grained tannins, tangy acids and superb lift on the impeccably balanced and complex backend. This is outstanding juice in the making. (Drink between 2032-2075)
