  Largely consistent with our tasting notes from the better bottles from the case - the perfume, the fruit, and the structure are there. If you have any left, no better time than the present.

  Over 4 years since the last bottle. Was interested to see how this was aging. Open an hour. There are some blue tones here, yet the fruit signature is squarely in the red spectrum, both of cherry and pomegranate. And the acidity is still present enough to add some grip to the wine, along with some wood tannin (?). The oak here does seem to be more present than I remember, adding a cherry-vanilla note to the wine. As for the whole cluster that has been such a part of more recent Falstaff, I don't sense much here. There is still some staying power for this 2014, with all the parts still fresh.

  Recent auction purchase.
  Badly oxidized. Undrinkable. Shame.

  Very pleasant, full-bodied CA Pinot with enough age to get it past its awkward youthful phase. Muted nose (compared the the Kelley Fox Mirabai), but this had a nice mouthfeel and presence that make it a good fit for a lot of foods. I continue to be happy w/ the quality and approach from Kutch.

  Light earthy raisin; length; smooth tannin; semi-sweet finish.
