Kosta Browne Pinot Noir St. Rita Hills 2020 750ml

Dan Kosta and Michael Browne built one of California's most famous Pinot Noir labels in Sonoma County, and their Sta. Rita Hills bottling brings that polished style to Santa Barbara County's cool, wind-swept coastal appellation. As an appellation wine, it captures the character of the region rather than a single site. The 2020 opens with bright red cherry aromas, tarragon and fresh garden herbs, according to Wine Enthusiast, which found a vibrant, fresh palate with mace and cinnamon spice. Wine Spectator praised its alluring damson plum, griotte and mulberry fruit layered with black tea, sous-bois and sandalwood, finishing long and refined. Drink now through 2030.
