Smoke and new leather notes add intrigue as this rich, structured Pinot blossoms in the glass. Even with all of the richness, the balance of fruit, acidity and whole clusters is magnificent. The 2012 is aging in 50% new French oak barrels, all of which it is handling well. This is a Pinot of serious depth and density, perhaps a bit more than the Kutch wines have had in the past. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media (92-94 points) ” ]

Black cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and menthol all jump from the glass. Intense, layered and succulent in the glass, the 2012 dazzles from start to finish. This is a Pinot built on the generous fruit of the 2012 vintage, with far fewer of the savory notes found in the 2011. The 2012 is a very serious wine at the appellation level and the hidden jewel in this range. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media (90-93 points)” ]

[wp_lightbox_prettyPhoto_anchor_text_image link=”https://kutchwines.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/12Fallstaff.jpg” text=”2012 Falstaff, Sonoma Coast, Pinot Noir” description=”Firm yet beautifully integrated tannins set the stage for Kutch’s 2012 Pinot Noir Falstaff. Sage, mint and plum lead to cedar, sweet spices and menthol as the wine opens up in the glass. The 100% whole clusters add an attractive, floral/savory dimension that balance’s the wine’s natural richness and broad-shouldered personality. Beautiful saline notes linger on the chalky, nuanced finish. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media (92-94 points)” ]

Savory herbs, dried flowers, black cherries and licorice all jump from the glass in this deep, layered wine. The 75% whole clusters come through only in the bouquet, as the fruit is so intense, they are barely noticeable on the palate. The balance of fruit, acidity and tannin is exceptional. I can’t wait to see how McDougall Ranch ages. It is clearly one of the most impressive wines of the vintage. ~ Antonio Galloni 04/01/13 (drink from 2014-2021) ” ]

A rich, layered wine, the 2011 is endowed with serious depth. Black cherries, spices, flowers, leather and tobacco all take shape in this fleshy, radiant Pinot. The Falstaff is one of the bigger 2011s here. Amazingly, it comes in at just 12.7% alcohol. The 50% whole clusters are very nicely integrated. Kutch waited until after the rain to pick this fruit and was rewarded with fabulous wine. ~ Antonio Galloni 04/01/13 (drink from 2014-2021)” ]

[wp_lightbox_prettyPhoto_anchor_text_image link=”https://kutchwines.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/11Savoy.jpg” text=”2011 Savoy Vineyard, Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley” description=”The 2011 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard is gorgeous, resonant and pure. Savory herbs, licorice, mint and leather rise from the glass. A deeply expressive wine, the 2011 Savoy is simply compelling from start to finish. The use of 80% whole clusters means the 2011 will require some patience to fully come together, but it is hugely attractive, even now. This is one of the softest, most impeccably crafted wines I have ever tasted from Jamie Kutch. Sadly, 2011 is Kutch’s last from this site in Anderson Valley. The 2011 vintage was especially challenging in Anderson Valley, but Jamie Kutch found a way to get the very best possible from the year. This is a fabulous 2011. ~ Antonio Galloni 04/01/13 (drink from 2014-2021)” ]

A blast of dark red fruit, tobacco, game and spices hits the palate in this expressive, resonant wine. The 2011 is totally different in style than the 2010, partially because of the use of 25% whole clusters. A bit wild today, the 2011 could use another 6-12 months to come together, but it is already pretty impressive.  ~ Antonio Galloni 04/01/13 (drink from 2013-2018)” ]

The palate interlaced flavors of earth & fruit both of which have been carefully framed by a mild kiss of French oak. A great satiating experience with charm, balance & harmony. This is a powerful yet refined example from this great vineyard. 7/22/12 ” ]

Abundant layers create a complex sensory experience with notes of herb & spice along with berries & fruit in the foreground. The rich density of material keeps the wine balanced and weightless. A great accomplishment as this vineyard and vintage created something really special for us. 7/22/12 ” ]

I was blessed when it came to the quality of this coastal terroir in 2009 as it was qualitatively above anything I had ever worked with in the past.  From the moment the grapes were picked, until the day the wine was sealed with a cork, I worked meticulously to maintain what Mother Nature had given me. Unlike Falstaff, McDougall’s yields were bountiful and I am proud to say that for me, this is the single best wine I have produced to date. With exceptionally tight, high quality clusters, I chose to push my luck and ferment by retaining 50% whole clusters (in other words I left half of the stalks on with the grapes during fermentation).  This created incredibly complexity and power yet while maintaining a vast amount of finesse.  One taster said over dinner recently, “this literally dances on my tongue like a ballerina yet has the power of a body builder.” As for my own description of the wine, every time I have tasted it, it has left me speechless… In truth and in two words, the best description I can give this wine would be complete & balanced.  It will age easily for 20+ years.   8/05/2011″]

[wp_lightbox_prettyPhoto_anchor_text_image link=”https://kutchwines.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/09Fall.jpg” text=”2009 Falstaff, Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast” description=”With a colder climate than Burgundy and located just over one mile from Freestone in the Sebastopol Hills, Falstaff exhibits everything I personally love about Pinot Noir.  Aromatics, beauty, finesse, balance and purity.  Unfortunately the yields were smaller than any other vineyard I worked with in 2009 (less than 1 ton per acre) so while the quality was there, the quantity was not.  During fermentation, 25% of the stems were retained which allowed this unique terroir to show off its full, complex character which includes a black pepper and spice cake nose and penetrating dark cherry fruit palate all of which are framed by fine grained tannins. With just 13.1% alcohol and generous natural acidity, Falstaff should have no problem aging for 10 plus years.  If you let curiosity get the better of you and open a bottle anytime soon, please be sure to decant so as to introduce as much oxygen as possible  8/05/2011″]
