An aromatic nose of bright cherries and dried herbs lends itself to a refined palate of cranberries, cut by the tannin's black tea and pepper. Lovely acid stays with you past the finish.

Goddamn this wine is positively Shakespearean in its mud covered grunting crushed forest berries and dried flowers floating on a cloud. At once primal and ethereal. Conjures twisted visions of some crazy dirt-fairy having a good fight with fresh berries.

2014: Needs a few years in bottle. Great fruit, subtle but steady acid. The tannins from the whole cluster are soft and ripe. Not green or stemmy as others have said. This Pinot is gonna run a good long while.

Brilliantly interesting Pinot...complexly in aromatics and palate carry through to finish

On the whole I’ve been rather disappointed with Kutch. I find the wines rather astringent and green. Haven’t had one in 2 years, which helped immensely. Berry and floral notes. A shirt spicy finish. Bottle age did this wonders but it still needs time. Recommending holding if you have.

California or Burgundy?!? Crazy complex and interesting aromatics full of green herbs and garden with spices with a mouth full of red fruit on a full but pillowy texture. Way more going on the second day. This is a wine where I get the "ethereal" description given to some Chambolle and Vosne wines. Beautiful and aesthetic....would go higher but not sure if I like the forward herbaceous nose. Very very similar to Dujac and Montille
