Convene by Dan Kosta Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021

97 pts., Editor's Choice, #13 on Top 100 Best Buy 2023 - Wine Enthusiast:

"This wine from one of Kosta Browne’s founders shows just-ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors that are compelling and delicious. Moderate tannins and good acidity lift the fruit across the palate and through the finish. Beautiful aromas of black fruits, rose petals and violets continue to echo."

Glory be! Dan Kosta, of Kosta Browne wines, has returned! After selling Kosta Browne to the Duckhorn folks, Dan took a break from the wine world, then started his own winery called Convene. He snagged his winemaker from his Kosta Browne days to collaborate with him on his new venture. The result is as we would expect - fantastic Pinot Noirs! - Wine Factor
