Light ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose has cherries, dust, iodine and slight spice. Medium bodied. Tart acidity. Light tannins. On the palate cherries with some spice. A bit of cherry cough drop on the finish. This seems to be just getting to peak. Drink over the next seven to ten years. It will work better with food due to the acidity. It would be a nice match with Roasted Duck.
Light ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose is lovely with cherries, cinnamon, and slight spice notes. Medium to full bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, cherries, some rhubarb and slight cloves. Long finish. This has some depth and complexity. Still on the younger side of peak but getting there. Nice on its own but better with food. Cheese worked well, but this would be nice with roasted duck or chicken. Drink over the next eight to twelve years.
The definition of a feminine Pinot Noir. Light ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose is beautiful with cherries, slight strawberry, char and earthiness. Medium bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, this is complex and layered. Almost delicate but too persistent. Cherries, slight black cherries, with spice and forest floor. Long finish. This is near maturity but may have a bit more to go. it should drink well for another eight to twelve years. Nice on its own, probably better with food. Pan Roasted duck with wild mushrooms would be perfect.
Jamie Kutch makes some of the best values in top quality (expensive) Pinot Noir. Purple/ruby in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is good with cherries, char and spice. Medium to full bodied. Tannins seems fully integrated. On the palate, cherries, black cherries and just a bit of char. Good balance. Long finish with a slight green herbal note. Delicious. This is still young but closing in on maturity. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years. Great on its own, this will work well with fowl or pork. It would also go great with Vietnamese food.
