The Winery

Kosta Browne

The men of Kosta Browne take nothing for granted, and when the opportune moment came to cease their dreams of crafting the most superior Pinot Noir in California, they went for it. Using their saved money made from tips at their restaurant jobs, Michael Browne and Dan Kosta purchased a half ton of Pinot Noir, a used barrel and a hand-crank stemmer-crusher and Kosta Browne was born. Starting from the bottom, they have developed relationships with growers to source ten single vineyard and three appellation wines. These flavor forward, intense, yet balanced wines have earned the praises of aficionados and critics alike. There is a 5 year wait list just to have access to the Kosta Browne mailing list; therefore you should be especially thrilled to have access to this California treasure.

Tasting Notes

WS92
Tight, dense and structured, with vibrant, snappy wild berry, fresh earth, cedar and anise. Pure and focused, ending with delicacy…
WA91
Refined and elegant, the 2011 Pinot Noir Rosella’s Vineyard (100% destemmed) offers up a perfumed, lifted array of sweet dark cherries, orange peel, sappy underbrush and rose petal to go with a pure, lively and decidedly energetic profile on the palate. Tightly wound, laser-focused and downright juicy, it’s a brilliant Pinot Noir that will have upwards of a decade of longevity. Drink 2015-2021.
