CUTT

Since we began HUNNICUTT in 2002, we have seen the opportunity to purchase excellent fruit other than Cabernet, Zinfandel and Chardonnay come and go. Very often this fruit presents itself as a one-year-only opportunity. After passing on very tempting fruit time and again, we decided to take advantage of an opportunity to purchase Syrah from a well known vineyard in Coombsville. It was a one-off contract that couldn’t be passed up. So, we started CUTT with the idea that we would produce varietal wines or blends that would most likely change from year to year. For example, we may do a Late Harvest Zinfandel one year (which we did) and a Petite Sirah the next. Although the varietal wines will change from year to year, there is one bottling under the CUTT label consistent in name, but not in blend – each year the blend will be something new, unusual and fun – and will bear the name ‘Fearless Red.’
