Kosta Browne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021
94 pts. Wine Advocate:
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley was matured for 15 months in 34% new oak. It has a medium ruby color and generous aromatic layers of lavender, licorice, eucalyptus and forest floor with a core of dark fruit. The medium-bodied palate is powerful, its concentrated fruit complemented by well-integrated oak spice. It has abundant, grainy tannins, bursts of mouthwatering acidity and a very long, layered finish." - Erin Brooks, June 2023
94 pts. Jeb Dunnuck:
"Taking on more richness both visually and aromatically, the 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is generous with violets, black cherry, and cola spices. Medium to full-bodied, it has ripe, sweet tannins, with notes of black tea, expansive black raspberry fruit, and toasted cedar. It offers good richness and has a classic feel with a long finish." - Audrey Frick, July 2023
Oh what a fabulous Russian River Valley Pinot! Loaded with a myriad of luscious flavors for which the region is famous. Kosta Browne easily lives up to their impressive reputation with this wine! A treat to savor. – Wine Factor
FROM THE WINERY
Over the years, we've been fortunate to work with several terrific sites within this AVA that span a diverse and varied view which many would call the heartland of California Pinot Noir. This year, we've included eight exceptional vineyards, including one from our Estate series and three of our Single Vineyard designates. Captivating aromatics with pronounced blackberry, ripe red cherry, and raspberry evolve from the glass, creating a truly mesmerizing, multi-layered wine with a remarkable finish.
