WTN: 2012 Kutch Falstaff Vineyard Pinot Noir

2012 Kutch Pinot Noir Falstaff Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (8/25/2018)
Dinner wine, served with herb-roasted pork loin, and the Falstaff was singing. I saw some notes from a knowledgeable Kutch fan that said the wine was heavy and ponderous. That was completely at odds with this bottle, which danced across the palate, with elegance and grace. Red fruit & light earth tones were joined by a touch of spice and floral, showing the lingering stem influence. Everyone was just blown away at how delicious the wine was. It shared the table with an outstanding Hirsch Pinot, and dominated the pairing. Amazing wine.

*I decided against any Shakespeare references.
