April 23, 2024 - Deep dark red big body (14.4%) wine. Plum fruit with a hint of flint in a long finish.
April 3, 2024 - About done - drink now!
March 20, 2024 - Lovely Pinot.
March 15, 2024 - This bottle took a while to get going. Opened reticent and closed; over the next hour, cherry, black tea, spice on the nose and palate. Seemed long in the tooth at this point. Drink up.
February 1, 2024 - Can't say it better than Buckeye: "A rich pinot noir, medium to full bodied, nice texture, well balanced, and a medium to long finish". Full-flavored notes of black cherry, blackberry and cinnamon on the nose and palate. Alcohol level appears to have risen with time, giving it a warmer, slightly sweet tone. Easy drinker.
December 27, 2023 - Better than the Russian River appellation wine opened last month though still not up to the single vineyards. Medium deep ruby red color. Black raspberries, licorice, earthiness and hints of floral in the nose. Black cherries and black raspberries in the flavor. A rich pinot noir, medium to full bodied, nice texture, well balanced, and a medium to long finish
July 9, 2023 - Solid Kosta Brown -- always a good wine and this was easy drinker over 2 nights while watching movies
June 21, 2023 - PnP. Very fine, light sediment. Nose: First open: papaya whiffs. Very nice bouquet 8/10. Cherry, light terpentine(?), rose petal, tea. Palate: 9/10. Medium body. Polished, balanced. Sweetness. After 2 hrs, there's spicy after taste accompanying the sweetness. So good. Finish: 9/10. Price: 9/10 ($75, 2023). Enjoyment: 10/10. Would buy again: Yep.
Starting to really like Kosta Browne Pinot Noirs at 9-10 yrs old.
May 23, 2023 - Not a lot of subtlety about this one, a nice big lip-smacking pinot from KB. Very smooth, with a hint of structure lurking beneath all the dark red fruits and cherry Coke. Terrific alongside chicken cacciatore but would go better with sturdier fare like a pork roast or lamb.
April 29, 2023 - Seems like most of these have been actually open up more and better the second day.
