Kutch Sonoma Coast McDougall Ranch Pinot Noir

Kutch is one of the metonymies of Pinot Noirs’ perfection in California. The McDougall vineyard is one of Kutch's most highly regarded wines and it's made from grapes perched high on a tranquil mountaintop of Cazadero, just a 3.3 miles from the Pacific Ocean. This is Kutch's most concentrated and powerful take on Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, with a distinctive and intriguing medicinal, pine resin edge to the fruit adding complexity and character. 94/100 - The 2021 Pinot Noir McDougall Ranch is a dark, brooding wine. Black cherry, spice, dried herbs, leather and tobacco add gravitas to this sombre, imposing Pinot Noir. There's serious depth and textural intensity here. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
