Kosta Browne, Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, California 2019

“Rich and supple, with concentrated red plum, raspberry and dark cherry flavors that show minerally richness, followed by hints of red licorice on the finish. Drink now through 2025.”-92WS

A microclimate that began 20 million years ago is nothing short of a miracle. Over the years, tectonic plate movements caused mountains to rise out of the ocean, break off the plate, and rotate clockwise, creating one of the most defined, transverse ranges on the Pacific Coast. This distinctive feature of the purely East/West maritime mouth funnels cooling coastal fog and wind to the vines. Sta. Rita Hills is one of the world’s best cool-climate growing regions of Pinot Noir.
