June 19, 2022 - A spicy nose and full of black fruits. Palate had a mix of red and black fruits with a dusty earth finish. In its prime drinking zone but fresh with several years left to sleep. Enjoy!

May 2, 2022 - Kutch Grand Tasting Round 1; 4/25/2022-5/3/2022 (FMIII in the OC): Still holding its color, quite dark, a purple haze. Nose had a intriguing herbal note that reminded me of Nori for you sushi fans out there. Lots of tannins still showing with a moss flavor, raspberry and a hint of salinity.

May 1, 2022 - Kutch Verticals--Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (My House): Wow, almost six years since I had one of these. We had it yesterday as part of our Kutch vertical. Pours dark, with the same power and density as I recall the 2012 Falstaff from past bottles. Fruit punch, strawberry, bright and generous. The stems show up in the finish giving this an herbal quality, like a rosemary. Even after 4 hrs this is a big wine, robust and stuffed. I prefer the 2011 for sure right now, as the 2012 vintage from Jamie seems to consistently reflect bigger wines, not the more lithe and berry driven quality and acidity of his later years of work (think 2017, 2019).

April 30, 2022 - Kutch Retrospective Sonoma County Chardonnay/Sonoma Cost Pinot Noir; 4/30/2022-5/1/2022 (FMII’s in San Juan Capistrano): This started out big and bold. Dark fruit with a wall of tannins. After a couple hours the nose picked up a gamey note, the palate opened up but it still had hard edges. Went for a late taste but one of the other tasters took it home with him.
