  Kutch Verticals--Trout Gulch, McDougall and Falstaff: Vertical (non-blind) of Falstaff, 2010 -2021. We did not taste the 2011 (no one owned it) nor 2014 and 2019 (stupid COVID forced the owners to have to miss the tasting) and the 2021 was a tank sample that Jamie pulled for us and shipped down for the tasting (being bottled next week so it's the final composition). Tangy cedar, blackberry and cherry. Light browning at the rim yet the berry notes are still fresh. Overall, this is holding together well but I'm glad I was able to share this from my cellar, as it's my final one and it's more appealing to those who liked aged wines than someone like myself.

  Wow my last one! This is great. It’s showing dark cherry and blueberry. There are some flower petals, along with some secondary traits of dried leaves and hint of forest floor. I also am picking up some perceptions of brick dust, and spice. Quite honestly, it has some similar qualities of the Lignier Chaffots 2017, less complex. It is really smooth and lovely. 93

  Color: bright ruby
  Nose: cherries, earth and cedar and flowers
  Taste: lots of cherry and raspberry with floral taste and a dash of citrus
  Very lovely and feminine with fruit upfront but not cloying or sweet then opening up to floral and a dash of citrus. The finish was tart (in a good way) but not overly long. I have no idea how much longer this has but it is in a sweet spot right now.

  What? I've never tasted this wine before? Cool. It definitely looks it's aging based on the color, light bricking. Strawberry and rhubarb nose. Love the sandelwood and cedar flavors. Feminine and balanced. Graceful wine.

  July 2019 Kutch Visit (Jamie's Pad in SFO): Drank as part of a 5 bottle flight of Falstaffs (2010 non-blind, with the 2012, 2014, 2017 and 2018 tasted blind). 13.25% ABV with 50% whole cluster. Red cherry, sweet pomegranate, cinnamon (like a red hots candy) and red apple. This wine is approaching a decade old and is holding up well and drinking with a good balance, too. No rush on these if you have any remaining.
