WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

The 2023 Kosta Browne Russian River Pinot Noir offers aromas of ripe raspberry, dark cherry, and black fruit combine with fragrant hibiscus, floral notes, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, notes of blackberry, blueberry, and plum flavors are complemented by balanced acidity and refined tannins with a hint of cocoa powder, adding depth to a warm, extended finish.

TASTING NOTES:

Dazzling aromas of crystalline cherry, cranberry, cinnamon and tangerine zest highlight the nose of this Pinot. The palate brings a wave of lavish acidity and plush tannin, with flavors of concentrated cherry, cassis, purple flowers and cola spice that go on and on.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is blended from several vineyards, including Bootleggers Hill, Giusti Ranch, Jenkins and Treehouse, and offers a lovely high-toned, red-fruited expression that is reflective of the cool growing season. Matured for 16 months in 40% new French oak, intense aromas of pomegranate, tangerine peel, rose petal, rooibos tea and conifer pour from the glass. The full-bodied palate is bursting with spicy red fruit flavors. Its structured by fine, chalky tannins, and the vibrant acidity drives a long, energetic finish.

– Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 93 pts.

Singed tea, apple wood and rose hip notes give this a subtly earthy edge, while the core of raspberry, black cherry and loganberry fruit shows brambly energy. Drink now through 2032.
