Kosta Browne Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2021 

93 pts. James Suckling:

"A subtle and pretty pinot with a lovely middle palate with a fine dusty tannin texture to it. Medium body and succulent with a savory finish. Orange peel. Lovely finish. This is very tame. Drink or hold."

93 pts. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:

"Matured for 15 months in 52% new oak, the 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has a very pretty expression this vintage. The nose features detailed scents of blueberries, strawberries, Earl Grey tea leaves and forest floor, and the medium-bodied palate offers generous, perfumed fruit on a delicate frame, finishing long and layered."

92 pts. Wine Spectator:

"Tasty, with a large core of succulent cherry and blackberry fruit notes laced with a light briar note, all backed by subtle mesquite and savory elements on the racy finish. Drink now through 2028."

FROM THE WINERY

The 2021 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir was harvested over three weeks during an ideal growing season. Brimming with vibrant notes of cranberry, strawberry, and cherry with subtle hints of citrus and understated tannins, this wine has a finesse that leads to an extended finish.
