Rumors are there is very limit supplies of this and it'll probably pass through the restaurant channels. Bottled without sulfur, interesting. Color is light magenta or even violet. Nose is stone and light strawberry. Palate has floral hints mid palate. Medium plus acid and no oak anywhere. Taste young with light tannins and a tart rhubarb finish. Cool wine and I think it's from the falstaff vineyard which is now my favorite.

Bookclub--Kutch Pinots (tasted blind) (Maro--Laguna Beach, CA): There is a freshness to this wine, exhibiting what I would call something that is energized, with a carbonic or freshly fermented feel. Pure rasberry, bing cherry. A day later, retasting this again, it picks up some black cherry notes and a beam of delineation, energy. However, what's interesting, this wine is a single barrel of '13 Falstaff so where that wine has finesse and polish, this wine lacks that trait, I suspect because of the absence of the sulfur? Anyway, there is little of this around as it's going to be restaurant only but we appreciate Jamie letting us have a bottle to try and get our heads around.

Kutch '12 vs '13 Pinot Blind Tasting - Something for Everybody (Maro Grill, Laguna Beach): Double blind. Guess carignan. I liked Steve's guess of gamey better, a new world Beaujolais.
