Product Description
"From a mix of Garys’, Rosella’s, and Soberanes vineyard (there’s also a tiny amount of Pisoni), the 2016 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands leads with its beautiful fruit and has lots of blueberries, cherries, spices, and candied violet-like aromas and flavors. Drink this medium-bodied, seamless, elegant 2016 anytime over the coming 4-6 years" JD Jun 2018
"Aromas of dried strawberries, plums, cedar and cream follow through to a full to medium body with round and velvety tannins. Very juicy and delicious. Tight and beautiful. Why wait on this?" JS May 2018
Jeb Dunnuck writes, "Winemaker Nico Cueva continues to fine tune his approach at Kosta Browne, experimenting with new vinification and aging vessels. While the wines were richer and more upfront in the past, today, they have slightly more freshness and tension while not abandoning the beautiful fruit and texture that defines California wines. As I hope these notes show, these are distinctive, singular wines up there with the crème de la crème of the region." Published Jun 5, 2018
