  40% whole cluster, 13.1% ABV, 168 cases made. This is the oldest Kutch wine I've tried, as I was a bit late for this train and didn't really start buying Jamie's excellent pinots until the 2013 vintage. Actually, at one point I do recall signing up for the mailing list around 2010, but never got on. I picked this up at auction for about $30 all in and am quite pleased with that purchase. This has a really expressive nose showing kirsch, pomegranate, currants and a bit of dusty spice (the hallmark of high stem inclusion). Quite juicy and bright, finishing with nearly mouth-puckering acidity (which doesn't bother this acid-phile) and raspberry and red cherry notes. A nervy and energetic wine that would not be out of place in a lineup of burgs. Excellent, and with plenty of gas in the tank

  Strawberry bursts out of the glass. Long fijishborncurrants and blackberries. Very nice wine.

  Drinking very well now and I think it still has a lot of life left.

  Popped and poured. Dark red/maroon in color, with no lightening at the edges. Reticent nose of red fruits and earth. Soft and lush, deep fruit flavors of dried cherries and pomegranate. Fully mature and easy to drink. I'll open my last bottle sooner rather than later.
