Jamie Kutch’s Sonoma Coast bottling of chardonnay all hails from the Bohan Vineyard, with the vines having been planted in 1972. It is barrel-fermented with indigenous yeasts and raised in twenty percent new oak, with the 2018 version coming in at 13.4 percent octane. It offers up a lovely bouquet of pear, golden delicious apple, a hint of almond, complex soil tones, white lilies and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a fine core of fruit, good soil signature, zesty acids and lovely length and grip on the vibrant finish. This will age very nicely and it would be a shame to drink too many bottles in the blush of youth, as there are more layers of complexity to unfold here! 2020-2035.
