96 Points Jeb Dunnuck

The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is floral with perfume and ripe red berries, as well as notes of framboise, rosemary, and incense. Offering fantastic balance, with fine tannins, fresh seamless acidity, and a good purity of fruit, this is a very attractive wine now and will continue to provide prime drinking over the next 12 or more years.  

 

94 Points James Suckling

The 2021 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was matured in 39% new oak for 15 months. The nose opens slowly from allspice and brown sugar to a core of red cherry and cranberry, tea leaves and lavender. The medium-bodied palate offers surprisingly concentrated fruit supported by grainy tannins and seamless freshness, and it has a long, spicy finish.

Kosta Browne's 2021 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, part of the venerable producer's Appellation Series, is sourced from eight vineyards spanning from the northern coastal rims of the appellation down to the edges of the southern portion of the zone. Mirroring its sourcing, its cellar journey is also a melange of sorts, including fermentation in stainless steel, wood, concrete, and a small portion of whole cluster, with ageing in both French and Austrian oak. The product of an accelerated harvest that was a whole month shorter than in 2020, this 2021 Pinot presents a lucid dark ruby with a violet rim. Shy on the nose at first, the 2021 gives off aromatic hints of redberry fruits laced with cedarwood spices. Still, it opens up significantly on the palate to reveal a classic, velvety-textured Pinot Noir, offering juicy pomegranate and raspberry fruits. Velvety tannins underscore notes of forest floor and conifer, and an enticing cocoa nib finish adds to the complexity.

 

Winemaker Notes

A compilation of ripe, red and blue fruit ignites the senses with slight undertones of forest rain. Soft and smooth on the palate with pure electric dark berry flavors and deep, unified tannins add volume to a refined finish.
