2021 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
2020 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast This vintage, we sourced from eight vineyards in both the northern true coastal zone and the southern edge of the appellation. Together, they form a singular wine, distinctively Sonoma Coast, with illuminating, deep hues and a warm medley of boysenberry, blueberry, and fresh-cut strawberry, with a slight undertone of forest rain. To showcase the terrific vintage and purity of each site, we used a balanced selection of fermentation vessels. The resulting Pinot Noir is in beautiful harmony with well-integrated tannins, adding volume to a refined finish with an uplifting presence. A compilation of ripe, red and blue fruit ignites the senses with slight undertones of forest rain. Soft and smooth on the palate with pure electric dark berry flavors and deep, unified tannins add volume to a refined finish. Sourced Vineyards: Treehouse, Thorn Ridge, Gap’s Crown, Marshall Ranch, Pratt, Balletto, Mardikian, Winner’s Circle.
