Kutch Wines Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021 Bottle size: 750ml

‘Jamie Kutch’s 2021 Sonoma Coast bottling of pinot noir includes fifty percent whole clusters in this vintage and comes in at an even thirteen percent octane. The wine offers up a superb aromatic constellation of cherries, beetroot, sweet stem tones, woodsmoke, raw cocoa, a refined base of soil tones, roses and a discrete foundation of new oak. On the palate the wine is bright, young and full-bodied, with excellent depth at the core, fine soil undertow and grip, ripe, buried tannins and a long, tangy and nascently complex finish. Structurally, this wine is certainly approachable right out of the blocks, but in terms of complexity, this is still a puppy and it would be infanticide to open a bottle until it has had at least a few years in the cellar to let all these layers emerge properly on the nose and palate! 2026-2065.’ – John Gilman, View From the Cellar, 93/100

‘The 2021 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is bright, focused and finely cut. Dark cherry/plum, fruit, lavender and spice are nicely delineated in a vibrant, mid-weight Pinot that introduces this range with a bang. All the elements are very nicely balanced. Vineyard sites are Bohan, McDougall and Falstaff. 2024 – 2033’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, 92/100
