Kosta Browne Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2018

$9999

This is Kosta Browne's first appellation-level Anderson Valley Pinot, drawing fruit from the Cerise and Ferrington vineyards in this cool, fog-funneled AVA sixty-five miles north of the winery in Sebastopol. The 2018 vintage delivered the kind of balance Kosta Browne is famous for: a powerful core of dark cherry, blueberry, and bramble fruit framed by fine, grainy tannins and uplifting acidity. The polish is unmistakable, but the wine wears Anderson Valley's wilder edge — a brush of pine, violet, herb — like a badge. Drinking beautifully now and built for the medium haul.

"The 2018 Pinot Noir Anderson Valley is the inaugural vintage of an Anderson Valley appellation Pinot Noir from Kosta Browne. Fruit comes from the Cerise and Ferrington vineyards. Pale to medium ruby, its intense fruits are tempered by fine earthy accents. It has a firm, grainy frame, well woven freshness and long finish." —Erin Brooks

"Fascinating sour-cherry and red-cherry flavors take the lead in this impeccably balanced and nicely concentrated wine. Medium body and moderate tannins give it excellent structure for mid-term aging, Best from 2023." —Jim Gordon
