Community Tasting Note

February 10, 2019 - I bought this a year ago looking for a decent $40 Pinot because I had been a long time mailing list customer of Kosta Browne (since 2003 vintage) but the QPR lately has been challenging, especially adding shipping from CA to CT.
This wine was really solid, start to finish. Typical light bodied color for a Pinot and the nose was spot on with this varietal, with spicy notes on top of dark red fruit. Smooth on the palate with a medium finish that paired perfect with honey-mustard glazed salmon.
Another exciting note is that I did a Coravin tasting when I bought this a year ago about 4-5 ounces and left the bottle in the cellar since then. In my recollection it hasn't lost anything from the initial tasting so the argon preservation used by Coravin seems to work very well even after a year.1,185 views
