2011 Kutch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, CA, $43 – Rating 91
Meticulous winemaking is Jamie Kutch’s hallmark. 25% whole clusters, 7-day cold soak, native yeast fermentation, resting 10 months sur lie in a combination of 70%/30% new/used oak barrels. Enticing aromas of dark cherry pie with notes of leather and cinnamon spice. Mouthwatering acidity with deep flavors of dark cherry, dark chocolate, cinnamon and baking spice with hints of briar. Dark chocolate on the long finish. Buy This Wine
