2006 Kutch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.4% alc., 287 cases, $39. 60% Kanzler Vineyard and
40% La Jouls Vineyard, both located in the Green Valley sub-AVA of the Russian River Valley. 30%
whole cluster. Aged 16 months on its lees. The website is
www.kutchwines.com.
·
Bright and dark reddish-purple color. Reserved aromas of
black cherry and oak char. The fruit is shy but tempting with black cherry and blackberry flavors highlighted
by herbs and subtle oak. Only recently bottled, the wine is still reticent. The Kutch style is a work
in progress and I like his desire to emphasize elegance, texture and power with restraint.

perfect for Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley. This wine was
sourced from the Amber Ridge and Demeo Vineyards.
·
Very nice
finely-spiced and ripe red fruits in the aromas and flavors. The alcohol
adds an appealing sweetness to the overall impression. The finish
closes with pleasant fruit, herbs and ample oak.
