2019 Kutch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., 500 cases, $39. A declassified blend of selected barrels from McDougall Ranch, Bohan vineyard and Falstaff Vineyard. 75% whole cluster, indigenous yeast fermentation, natural malolactic bacteria. Aged in used French oak barrels ad bottled unfined and unfiltered. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Complex nose offering aromas of allspice, sap, pipe tobacco, prickly pear and floral nuance. The nose picks up intensity and interest over time in the glass. Light to mid-weight in style, featuring flavors of dark red cherry, edible flower, tobacco and dried herbs. Soft and polished in the mouth with a hint of tannin in the background and juicy acidity. Still fine the following day when tasted from a previously opened bottle. Score: 90. Reviewed February 7, 2021
