The nose of this Pinot jumps with aromas of concentrated Bing cherry, plum and dark cocoa, while the palate displays generous tannin balanced by zippy acidity and flavors of berry coulis, sandalwood and shiitake. Rest this in the cellar for 5-10 years and drink with roasted pork and mushrooms.

The 2023 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is open-knit, plush and very nicely built. A surprising amount of graphite minerality opens first, lending complexity to the concentrated yet weightless dark berry fruit and subtle tea-like tannins. Finessed, polished and expressive, the 2023 boasts the hallmark Kosta Browne supple, velvety texture. All the elements come together effortlessly.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was matured for 16 months in 40% new French oak. It has slowly opening scents of wild berry fruit, tobacco, black tea, violet and bitters. The full-bodied palate features expressive, layered flavors. It’s framed by silky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, spicy finish.

Gentle and caressing feel, this offers warmed raspberry and black cherry compote notes, along with hints of anise and black tea. The finish shows a lightly toasted edge. Drink now through 2027. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 4,750 cases made.
