Kosta Browne is the quintessential cult California Pinot producer. They source from impeccable vineyards in the state's most revered Pinot growing regions and they typically sell almost all of their production through a highly allocated mailing list.

With idyllic weather from start to finish, 2018 was one of the finest growing seasons of the past decade. Vibrant and pure berry fruit, rose petal and bramble on the nose, with a subtle hint of vanilla, are the perfect accompaniment to the deep texture and round tannins.

The 2018 Kosta Browne Russian River Pinot Noir embodies the very best that this classic appellation has to offer. Celebrating the cool-climate character and complexity of California’s most revered wine-growing regions, our 2019 Appellation Series wines showcase what can be achieved from iconic sites in an exceptional vintage. Intricately structured with soaring flavors, this is a vintage not to miss. There are 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. The resulting 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. Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to work with many great vineyards that span a diverse and varied view into a region that many would call the heartland of California Pinot Noir. Our goal is to create a wine that showcases the essence of this magical appellation. No matter the vintage, there are often fresh red fruit characteristics, a recognizably full mouthfeel, and texture to the wines from the area - a common thread to the components of this blend. TASTING NOTES Nose: Expressive red apple, raspberry, and pomegranate aromas excite alongside soft notes of lavender and spice. Mouth: Lively texture, with a medium body and refined finish. Pristine.
