WTN: The Merry Wines of Windsor

by David M. Bueker » Mon Aug 01, 2022 7:47 pm

2018 Kutch Pinot Noir Falstaff Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (8/1/2022)
Popped and poured, then followed over about three hours, this is still an infant. Lots of deep red fruit, and a bit of an earthy wall. It took ninety minutes or so for more detail to emerge. After about two hours a warm tobacco note crept in, along with a bramble black fruit note that was eerily reminiscent of picking wild blackberries on a sun-baked Vermont mountainside. I could feel the heat on the back of my neck, and smell the fresh berries dropping into the basket. The ripe berries carried through on the palate, picking up a macerated juiciness that coated the palate, leaving that tobacco note, and a quick dash of mint on the finish.

You remind me for the umpteenth time: I've got to buy me some Kutch pinots.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
