WINE DESCRIPTION
Kosta Browne Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Kosta Browne winery in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation of Santa Barbara County, California. The wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the cool, foggy coastal climate of the Sta. Rita Hills, which result in slow ripening and concentrated flavors. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, resulting in a wine with flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, and spices. The wine is known for its medium-bodied style, with silky tannins and a long, elegant finish. It is an ideal pairing with grilled salmon, roasted poultry, or mushroom-based dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Kosta Browne Sta.Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a delightful expression of Pinot Noir from the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, wild strawberries, and herbal notes are complemented by subtle hints of baking spices and leather. On the palate, bright red fruit flavors of cherry and raspberry are joined by earthy notes of mushroom and forest floor, and a light dusting of white pepper. The finish is long and silky, leaving the palate with lingering flavors of sweet spices and a hint of oak.

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.CUSTOMER RATING
