Tasting Notes

The 2018 Signal Ridge Vineyard bottling from Kutch Wines is a lovely bottle in the making, coming in at 13.2 percent octane and offering up the customary precision and depth of all of Jamie’s pinot noirs. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a complex mix of sweet dark berries, black cherries, sweet Mendocino herb tones, dark soil elements, a bit of youthful stems (this is one hundred percent whole clusters), chicory, a touch of cedar and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, young and full-bodied, with a nice touch of sap at the core, lovely soil signature and a long, suavely tannic and vibrant finish. This was raised all in used casks this year and is absolutely superb juice in the making. 2026-2055+.
