Jamie Kutch's 2015s are dark, powerful and quite intense. Kutch told me his main concern was avoiding overextraction. As a result vinifications were on the gentle side, with no cold soaks, lower temperatures in fermentation, fewer punchdowns and gentle press cycles. The wines are quite rich, even though Kutch opted for 100% whole clusters on all the Pinots. I tasted the 2015s just prior to bottling, which is always a delicate time, as wines can be a bit misleading, especially if sulfur levels are low. It will be interesting to see where the finished wines end up.

Jamie Kutch's 2014 Pinots have put on quite a bit of weight over the last year. Now in bottle, the 2014s come across as bigger, richer wines than they did from barrel. Kutch fans will want to be on the lookout for the new 2014 Chardonnay, which emerges from two sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains. In addition to these wines, I also tasted a number of 2015s that show the power and intensity of the year. The 2015s are still raw and embryonic, but they also appear to have quite a bit of potential.
