Derived from a vineyard first planted in 1999 within the cool embrace of Sonoma Coast's misty terroir, this particular site represents Kutch's most challenging yet intriguing winemaking endeavor. Fermented with 50% whole clusters and thoughtfully aged in seasoned barrels, the resulting wine exudes a vibrant, supple character, adorned with vivid notes of black cherry and berry, complemented by delicate floral nuances. However, beneath this brightness lies a subtle austerity on the palate, revealing a core of invigorating acidity and a savory, faintly cedary accent that underscores the pure fruit essence. A study in precision, this wine embodies a restrained elegance, withholding its full potential for the future, promising a rewardingly pleasurable evolution, while concluding with a linear and refreshingly juicy finish.
