PINOT NOIR - KOSTA BROWNE SANTA RITA HILLS 2018

🏆 Critical Acclaim: 92 pts Robert Parker (Wine Advocate)

Kosta Browne Pinot Noir | Santa Rita Hills 2018 | 750ml | 14.2% ABV

Kosta Browne is one of California's most coveted Pinot Noir producers, with a mailing list that stretches for years. The 2018 Santa Rita Hills bottling captures the unique cool-climate intensity of this remarkable appellation in Santa Barbara County.

Aromas of dark cherry, crushed rose petal, and baking spice rise from the glass, followed by a palate of extraordinary depth — layers of black raspberry, pomegranate, and cola are framed by fine-grained tannins and bright coastal acidity. The finish is long, perfumed, and utterly captivating.

For those who worship at the altar of great Pinot Noir, this is a bucket-list bottle. The 2018 vintage delivered outstanding quality across California, and Kosta Browne captured it brilliantly.

Pair with: Roasted duck breast, mushroom risotto, or pan-seared salmon with beet reduction.
