Antonio Galloni of Vinous reviews 2013 Kutch and says
KUTCH Kutch 2013 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 93 pts Sonoma Coast, Sonoma Red wine from United States Drinking window: 2015 - 2025 Dark red cherries, plums, spices, menthol and rose petals meld together in the 2013 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast. Dark, mysterious and supple in the glass, the 2013 is super pure and pretty today. Expressive savory notes from the 100% whole clusters add lift and nuance on the finish. The 2013 is a blend of fruit from Sonoma Stage, where the terrain is rich in clay, and McDougall, which is characterized by sandier soils. This is one of the best artisan Sonoma Coast Pinots readers will find for the money. Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: January 2015 Jamie Kutch continues to show notable ambition with his wines. A Burgundy and Piedmont fanatic, Kutch crafts mid-weight, gracious Pinots built on expressive aromatics, chiseled fruit and an overall sense of energy. In 2013 Kutch adds a new Pinot from Bohan, while in 2014 there is a Pinot from Hellenthal as well as a Chardonnay. Kutch reported that malos were early in 2013, so, as a result he opted to bottle in July 2014, a much shorter elevage than the 2012s, all of which were still in barrel at this time last year. I also tasted a Kutch's new 2014 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay, which was still in the middle of its malolactic fermentation. The sample I saw suggested a wine of considerable promise.

KUTCH Kutch 2013 Pinot Noir McDougall Ranch 94 pts Sonoma Coast, Sonoma Red wine from United States Drinking window: 2015 - 2025 Dark red and purplish fruit emerge from the 2013 Pinot Noir McDougall Ranch. There is more than enough fruit to fill out the wine's frame quite nicely. This south-facing site yields fruit of notable depth and richness, while the whole clusters add a gorgeous sense of lift.

KUTCH Kutch 2013 Pinot Noir Bohan Vineyard 91 pts Sonoma Coast, Sonoma Red wine from United States Drinking window: 2015 - 2025 The Kutch 2013 Pinot Noir Bohan Vineyard hits the palate with surprising depth, power and intensity, all pretty unusual for this part of the Sonoma Coast. The 2013 is a wine of pure verticality and primary flavors, so readers will have to be patient. This is Jamie Kutch's first Pinot from Bohan, a historic, dry-farmed parcel on the Sonoma Coast. The first two vintages suggest the Bohan is going to be a fairly structured, tannic Pinot. Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: January 2015 Jamie Kutch continues to show notable ambition with his wines.

KUTCH Kutch 2013 Pinot Noir Falstaff Vineyard 91 pts Sonoma Coast, Sonoma Red wine from United States Drinking window: 2015 - 2025 Rose petals, mint, spices and sweet red berries are all laced together in the 2013 Pinot Noir Falstaff Vineyard. This is the most lifted and aromatic of the wines in this range. The 2013 is intensely saline, lifted and perfumed. It will appeal most to readers who enjoy aromatic, mid-weight Pinots. The 2013 is all about precision and nuance. It is also a bit light, even within the context of this style. Antonio Galloni.
