WINE DESCRIPTION

Kosta Browne Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir is a highly acclaimed red wine produced by the esteemed Kosta Browne winery in Sonoma County, California. The wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Santa Lucia Highlands appellation, known for its exceptional Pinot Noir wines. The vineyards are located at an elevation of 200-1,200 feet and benefit from cool coastal breezes and well-draining soils. The wine is fermented in small batches and then aged in French oak barrels for 16 months, resulting in a wine with rich flavors and aromas of cherry, raspberry, and spice. The wine is known for its silky texture, balanced acidity, and long, smooth finish. It is an ideal pairing with roasted meats, poultry, and savory mushroom dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Kosta Browne Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir is a delightful expression of the region's terroir.The aromatics present lush dark cherry, blackberry, and dried herbs, while the palate is medium-bodied and smooth. The fruit flavors are balanced with a touch of earthiness, and the structure is well-integrated, with ripe tannins and a long finish. Enjoy now, or cellar for enhanced complexity.

ORIGINS

Winery: Kosta Browne

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
