Kutch, Rosé, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast, California, 2016

While many of California's best rosés are inspired by Provence, Kutch's superb Pinot Noir cuvée has a cooler climate feel, bearing more than a nodding resemblance to François Cotat's superb Sancerre rosé. An extravagant bouquet of white cherry, tangerine, strawberry, mint and white flowers leads into a taut, vibrant palate, with excellent length and cut. Supremely drinkable yet also cerebral.
