Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed September 2025Potent but clean aromas of black cherry, cola float and intense rose extract show on the enticing nose of this appellation cuvée. The palate retains a firm textural edge amidst a soft, enveloping mouthfeel, as lovely flavors of raspberry and chai spice make for a bold yet balanced sip. (MK)

James Suckling
Perfumed aromas of wild blackberry bush, dried strawberries and citrus peel. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity and fine tannins, giving notes of sarsaparilla, dried herbs and potpourri. Refined and generous. Drink or hold.

Decanter
This wine sees ample new oak for the variety, which makes a significant impression on the aromatics, sweet spices, and vanilla bean mingle with red plums, and a touch of tobacco leaf. Sourced from several Sta Rita Hills vineyards, the wine is comprised of sites like Mt. Carmel, Rita’s Crown, Radian, Sanford & Benedict, Drum Canyon, Peake Ranch and La Encantada. A freshness across the palate juxtaposes the ripe, sweet strawberries, tobacco leaf and brown sugar. (CP)
Notes
Kosta Browne's Appellation Series Pinot Noir from Sta. Rita Hills is a soulful, thought-provoking wine made to reflect the unique terroir of a cool-climate AVA shaped by ancient tectonic forces and coastal influences. Composed of Pinot Noir clones: 828, 2A, Pommard, 667, 115, and 777 — it fermented with 3% whole clusters in 64% stainless steel and 29% concrete tank, and aged 16 months in 37% new French oak barrels.
