Community Tasting Note

    April 3, 2022 - I normally love the Kutch pinots…. This was probably the most disappointing I’ve had. Maybe way too early??? But I’m not sure I see the makings of something much better over time.
    From the open it was thin, with very high acid stealing the show from a light raspberry and cherry flavor (almost aguafresca-like). I had hoped it would evolve over 24 hours, but if anything, the acid calmed down but the fruit virtually disappeared - leaving a very inoffensive but forgettable drink.
    Very uncharacteristic… I’ve got one more of these, which I will hold for quite a while longer before trying again.
    Withholding a score on this as it is just so unusual vs what I’ve seen from this winemaker.

    4/3/22, 6:22 AM - Thanks for the note, intriguing (I have not opened/tasted mine). I did go back and look at the reviews which suggested a hold date until 2025 and/or 2029. Again, I have not opened any. The SC always drinks so well young...I threw the Signal Ridge in the back and forgot. Thanks again!
