"Each wine is magnificent in its own profound way. They are the best of the best from our cellar, made to pass the test of time, and to stand alongside the world's finest Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays." Julien Howsepian, Winemaker
2021 Kosta Browne - Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
"A compilation of ripe, red and blue fruit ignites the senses with slight undertones of forest rain. Soft and smooth on the palate with pure electric dark berry flavors and deep, unified tannins add volume to a refined finish."
Winemaker's Notes
"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."

There can be many differences between vineyards in this small appellation, but the majority of them do share a common influence – the cooling effect that follows the Russian River inland from the Pacific coast. This fog helps keep nights cool and offers vines a respite from daytime temperatures. In turn, these diurnal temperature swings slow down ripening and promote more evolved flavors in our grapes. We work with vineyards that span a diverse and varied view into a region that many would call the heartland of California Pinot Noir.
2021 Kosta Browne - Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
"Enchanting aromatics delight with pronounced blackberry and layers of ripe red cherry and raspberry. The palate is silky smooth with delicate tension and a remarkable finish." Winemaker's Notes
"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."
