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

CG96
Picking favorites from the long and lengthening lists of single-site bottlings that so many top-tier Pinot producers now offer is never an easy task, especially when faced with the embarrassment of riches that is the 2013 Kosta Browne lot. That said,…
WS94
Shows wonderful depth, richness, balance and complexity, with enticing aromas and an array of blackberry, raspberry, licorice, fresh-turned earth and crushed rock flavors, ending smooth. The tannins exhibit nice grip at the very end.
