  The Sta. Lucia version of Kosta wines are sort of up and down for me. This location has a very distinctive flavor profile, and it either comes off superb in good years or sort of odd in others. This one was somewhere in between. Cork was stained a medium magenta and was wet and stained about 1/4". I enjoyed it still but I prefer the Sonoma and Russian River versions a bit more. It sort of reminds me of a candy I had once. It was ready but I think it can go about 3 more years, with possible upside development.

  Still drinking really well, despite CT saying its out of the window. Layers of strawberries, well integrated. Easily 3 more years of life.

  Thought it was going to be really tasty but turned out to be pretty special. Caught at just the right time, there was lots of cinnamon, plums and root beer. Do not think it will get any better so if you have any, drink up; its some great juice.

  A nose of cherries and spice, medium amber in color. A medium to full bodied Pinot, with currants, cherries, dust and spice on finish, was very smooth, drink now. www.winelx.com

  Some nice cherry flavor. Decent acidity but this just seems kinda boring overall
