About the Wine
Let’s talk about pinot perfection, shall we? The 2021 Krutz Soberanes Pinot Noir is your ticket to pure elegance, straight out of the iconic Santa Lucia Highlands. Imagine a wine so velvety smooth it feels like it’s giving your taste buds a warm hug. From the first whiff, you’re hit with lush cherry cola vibes and hints of fresh rose petals dancing in the glass. Oh, and that whisper of French oak? It’s like a sultry secret adding richness to the finish.
We’re talking tight vines, tiny yields, and the Pisoni Clone, a Pinot Noir clone from La Tâche Vineyard in Burgundy—yes, that vineyard.
Way back in 2003, Patrick Krutz started making wine for fun—and by fun, we mean just 60 cases for family and friends. Well, it didn’t stay small for long. The demand skyrocketed, and boom, Krutz Family Cellars was born. Patrick isn’t just the winemaker—he’s the guy who does everything from vineyard to bottle.
Fun fact? Patrick brought his Southern Hospitality roots into the wine world, creating the Magnolia series—easygoing, no-fuss wines that over-deliver every single time.
This isn’t just Pinot Noir. It’s Pinot done right. The 2021 Krutz Soberanes Pinot Noir is ready to impress at your next dinner party, solo sipping session, or romantic rendezvous. Stock up before it disappears faster than your last bottle of good wine—because once people get a taste, it’s gone.
Aging: 12 months in French oak barrels (50% new)
Tasting Notes
100% Pinot Noir.
From the first whiff, you’re hit with lush cherry cola vibes and hints of fresh rose petals dancing in the glass. Oh, and that whisper of French oak? It’s like a sultry secret adding richness to the finish. This is a masculine style, full throttle Pinot that Cabernet lovers and meat lovers will relish. 14.7 ABV.
Critic Review
The 2021 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard is medium ruby-purple in color. It erupts with powerful scents of pomegranate, black cherries, and boysenberries plus nuances of Indian spices and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is ripe, rich, and juicy, with velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy. ~94 The Wine Independent
