The Cerise Vineyard is a legendary site in Anderson Valley, located in the Deep End, which is a cool climate site that produces excellent age-worthy wines. This wine is aromatic with lush and vibrant fruit, dark strawberry, black raspberry, and notes of black licorice and dried florals on the nose. The flavors on the palate are youthful boysenberry, red currant, coriander, and black tea woven throughout the mid-palate, morphing into mouth-watering tannins and a supple finish. (TP)

A great wine from a great vineyard that showcases the winery's current approach to leaner, fresher wines. Beautiful floral, spicy and sultry fruit flavors make an irresistible combination. It's full-bodied and elegantly balanced. Focused black cherries, sour cherries, black tea and star anise build on the palate and linger in the finish.

Structured and substantial in earthy, forested notes, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is made from a selection of multiple clones, 6% whole-cluster fermented in stainless steel, concrete, and oak, and aged in new French and Austrian oak for 18 months. Subtle layers of crisp red fruit adorn a palate of underlying elegance beneath a graceful layering of chalky tannins and floral aromatics. (VB)

This wine comes from the Cerise Vineyard above Boonville, where Pinot Noir can ripen a bit more. While remaining floral and mineral, it offers plenty of ripe fruits in the aromatics. On the fruit-dominant palate, cherries are lifted by notes of blood orange and mountain herbs, providing a savoury balance to the fruit-driven core. (CP)

Notes

Kosta Browne made their first Anderson Valley Pinot Noir in 2018. They set a benchmark for the varietal in every appellation. Over the past few 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. Fruit was sourced from some of Anderson Valley's top sites including Cerise, Knez, Gowan Creek and Demuth. Tasting notes from the winery: "Nose: An inviting bouquet of raspberry and cherry, complemented by hints of fennel and a nuanced infusion of cedar. Mouth: Opulent yet structured, the palate unveils a mesmerizing cor of rhubarb and blood orange, supported by soft, chalky tannins that lead to a long-lasting, enthralling finish."
