Community Tasting Note

    January 31, 2015 - This followed the Kutch Sonoma Coast in the tasting, and as it was notably lighter in body and more focused on its acids, there was a bit of a letdown. I look back to the prior bottle of this wine, and my notes were pretty consistent - red fruit, acid, elegance. It just got stuck in a tough place.

    2/2/15, 10:24 AM - We did have food, though it was not food designed to show a high acid Pinot in the best light.

    It would have been better for the wine to be prior to the Kutch, but I still think it needs a good bit of time to settle into a more measured place.
