Pinot Noir Bohan Vineyard, Kutch 2021

Bohan Vineyards on the Sonoma Coast has some fine old pinot noir vines, as the vineyard was planted all the way back in 1972. Jamie Kutch makes a beautiful wine from these old vines
and his 2021 Bohan Vineyard cuvée is exceptional, coming in at and even thirteen percent octane and including fifty percent whole clusters this year. The bouquet is deep and precise, wafting from the glass in a lovely blend of red and black cherries, pomegranate, raw cocoa, woodsmoke, a complex base of dark soil, sweet stem tones, peonies and just a touch of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is bright, tangy and full-bodied, with a lovely core of sappy fruit, fine mineral drive and grip, fine-grained tannins and a long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. This is a beautiful bottle in the making. 2031-2075
