At 935+ feet elevation and a mere 3.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean McDougall Ranch truly is a unique cool climate site. Farming is left to the hands of Ulises Valdez whose skills are in a league of their own. Planted in 1998 on a southern slope to clone 114 the vineyard beautifully expresses varietal correctness. Hirsch Vineyard can be seen on the next southern ridge."

By John Gilman Mar/Apr 2016 Issue #62 April 2016 Classical and Neo-Classical American Wines 93+ points (Kutch Wines ?McDougall Ranch? Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)) The 2014 McDougall Ranch is the lowest octane of these 2014s from Kutch Wines coming in at a very cool 12.4 percent octane. The wine is quite black fruity in personality this year but pure focused and intensely flavored and will be outstanding with a bit of bottle age. The refined nose wafts from the glass in a mix of sweet dark berries bitter chocolate a hint of cola lovely soil tones fresh herbs and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is medium-full br
Vinous: 93 Points
"The 2014 Pinot Noir McDougall Ranch is the richest and most intense of these four Pinots. The wine's inner sweetness and pure density pretty much cover the whole clusters. The McDougall is the most satisfying of the Kutch 2014 single-vineyard Pinots to drink young as all the elements are very nicely woven together even at this early stage."
