Kutch Verticals--Trout Gulch, McDougall and Falstaff: Vertical (non-blind) of McDougall, 2010 -2021. We did not taste the 2011 (no one owned it) nor 2014 and 2018 (stupid COVID forced the owners to have to miss the tasting) and the 2021 was a tank sample that Jamie pulled for us and shipped down for the tasting (being bottled next week so it's the final composition). Purplish rose in color. Raspberry and blueberry flavors with the zippy acidity of 2020, along with the 2020's purple fruit imprint. Red apple skin, it really comes through in this vintage, and I believe of all the McDougall this was the first one to show that note. And the stem inclusion for this vintage is 50%, and for me this really makes a difference as the stems are not overt as they were in 2012 and 2015. Gorgeous at this stage...think power, with acidity and a purple fruited frame.
