Kusuda 2003 C Pinot Noir (Martinborough)

  • Online Exclusive
The “C” stands for clay, the predominant soil type in the vineyard. Well-oaked, with smoke and berry aromas and flavors and a wiry, herbal thread wrapped around a core of bright boysenberry fruit. Shows some sturdy tannins on the finish, so hold 2–3 years.  — J.C.  (12/1/2005)

Kusuda 2003 G Pinot Noir (Martinborough)

  • Online Exclusive
Lush and supple, boasting ample cherry and vanilla aromas and flavors. It’s easily approachable, yet still shows decent complexity in a slightly herbal-briary nuance. The “G” stands for gravel, which in this vintage produced a less powerful wine than the “C” (clay) bottling.  — J.C.  (12/1/2005)

Kusuda 2002 Syrah (Martinborough)

  • Online Exclusive
Impressive purple color, but less intense on the nose. White pepper notes add complexity to modest plum flavors, while a herbal note carries the finish.  — J.C.  (5/1/2006)
