2021 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Anderson Valley
2021 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Anderson Valley We sourced from a variety of vineyards within the appellation, including Cerise Vineyard from our Estate series, to create a true representation of an Anderson Valley Pinot Noir blend. To capture this region’s rustic beauty and retain freshness, the wine was fermented predominantly in stainless steel, as well as concrete and wood tanks. Intense aromas of juicy blackberries, dark cherry, and charred lemon are enhanced by an expansively layered, concentrated palate. Subtle oak and savory notes weave throughout for a captivating texture that draws the Pinot to a long, powerful finish. Wild blackberry with hints of herbaceous rusticity and subtle oak. A powerful punch of dark cherry, blueberry, violet, and cranberry fruit notes with a rich and gorgeous texture. Sourced Vineyards: Cerise, Knez, Demuth, Gowan Creek
