2020 Kosta Browne Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir California USA

Winemaker Notes
Celebrating the cool-climate character and complexity of California’s most revered winegrowing regions, our Appellation Series wines are a study in terroir with soulful elegance and energetic intensity.
The Sonoma Coast appellation overlaps with that of the Russian River Valley in many places and is similarly shaped by the ocean. Local geology can be complex here, a direct result of being located at the intersection of two tectonic plates.
The vineyards we source from lie in both the southern portion of the appellation and in the northern true coastal zone. Together, they form a singular wine that is distinctively Sonoma Coast with deep flavors, rich texture, and savory spice characteristics. To showcase the terrific vintage and the purity of each site, we used a balanced selection of fermentation vessels. The resulting Pinot Noir has enticing energy with pristine dark fruit, dimension, and a long, driving finish.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE Uplifted aromatics. Compelling dark fruit notes of blueberry, blackberry, and boysenberry are coupled with a hint of currant and a seamless touch of vanilla.
MOUTH Vibrant with facets of dark fruit, wildflowers, and earthy layers that add sophistication and create intensity with refined tannins.

Rated 94 Points Wine Enthusiest
This richly tight, layered and intense coastal wine combines grapes from several amazing sites, including Kanzler, Gap's Crown and Jenkins. Savory freshness defines it, with mineral, forest and tea at the forefront of the structured palate and accents of nutmeg and cardamom lingering on the finish.
