I love Jamie Kutch’s wines, as every time I taste them, I think to myself “this is how I would make wine if I could.” Jamie always uses indigenous yeasts, raises the wines solely in used oak and bottles unfined and unfiltered. His 2021 Falstaff Vineyard bottling of pinot noir includes fifty percent whole clusters this year and is excellent, offering up a bright and complex nose of cherries, beetroot, a hint of blood orange, a refined base of soil, a touch of mustard seed, sweet stem tones and a very discreet framing of oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and beautifully transparent in personality, with a good core of red fruit, fine soil signature, buried tannins and a long, vibrant and complex finish of impeccable balance. (Drink between 2030-2075)

13% alcohol. From a vineyard planted in 1999 in a cold foggy pocket of the Sonoma Coast. It’s Kutch’s most marginal site and this is fermented 50% whole cluster and is aged in old barrels. It’s very fresh and supple with bright black cherry and berry fruits with some floral overtones but also a bit of sternness on the palate which shows good acidity and a savoury slightly cedary edge to the pure fruit. Lovely precision here: a somewhat nervy taut wine that’s holding back on pleasure right now but which will certainly deliver it in the future. Linear and quite juicy on the finish.
