Kutch, Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, California, USA, 2017

Succulent, bright and charming, this blend from Kutch’s single vineyards is the winery’s best value. It brims with vibrant red cherry flavours and floral aromas; whole-cluster fermentation has added spice, though it lacks a bit of finish. Despite the October fires, Sonoma Pinot Noir did well in 2017, as grapes were picked before they occurred.
