Formerly a Nasdaq trader for Merrill Lynch, Jamie Kutch gave up the city life to pursue Pinot- and Chardonnay-making in California – and is now a rising star. Great nose, very elegant and fine, with very light, reductive struck-match aromas. Round and rich palate, with a full-bodied attack of lean pineapple and passion fruit balanced by an amazing hit of clean lemony acidity carrying on to a never-ending finish.
