Reviewed July 2023
I really love the wines from this site. Taking on more purity and freshness, the 2020 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard opens with aromas of raspberry liqueur, candied roses, and mentholated herbs. Medium-bodied, with good tension and packed with great energy, there’s a refreshing nature to this wine, which offers notes of fresh tangerine, grenadine, and cinnamon, fine tannins, and a good bit of minerality in its texture. This is my favorite wine in this lineup from Kosta Browne. Drink 2024-2040. (AF)

Lovely depth of fruit and beauty to this, with crushed-strawberry, hazelnut and floral undertones. Full and deep. White pepper and cloves at the end. (JG)

This versatile, well-balanced and attractive wine can be enjoyed now for its elegant, moderately tannic texture and fresh red and black cherry flavors, or saved for a future dinner party. (JG)

Lovely coastal cool infuses everything about this wine. Its berry scent and black-cherry flavors have a cool and crunchy forest fruit character without being excessively green. Picked at the right moment of ripeness, the fruit lasts with a rose fragrance, open and airy. (JG)

Notes

Over the past two decades, Kosta Browne has risen to prominence among California Pinot enthusiasts as a premier source for boutique, single-vineyard bottlings of extraordinary purity and luxurious complexity. The Gap's Crown vineyard is the premier site in the Petaluma Gap AVA, capturing all of the quintessential character of this windswept region, resulting in wines of incredible balance between opulent, ripe fruit and vibrant, scintillating structure. Many of the region's top boutique labels make some of their best bottlings from this inimitable site, and Kosta Browne is no exception.
