December 21, 2023 - Absolutely delicious ripe red cherry and spice aromas and flavors with layers of complexity and juicy acidity on the long finish.

October 13, 2023 - Drinking well with notes of cherry, black raspberry, damp earth. Tannins are fairly soft and well integrated, long finish. Paired with grilled miso salmon.

May 9, 2023 - Pale ruby with reflections of red. Slightly somber at this point, I am not sure there is a lot of reason to age Kosta's Pinot Noirs - even the single vineyard wines - as they seem at their best when they are youthfully exuberant. This one is certainly juicy and the palate is rich and expansive with bright acidity and a touch of fine tannins adding structure and interest. But the red fruit, crème de framboise, and savory earth flavors here seem a bit stodgy. While this is in no way dead, and on the contrary, is surely enjoyable, I would still have preferred to drink it two or three years ago.

May 6, 2023 - Cherry, with a bit of citrus zest and an earthy dash. This has an alluring combination of lightness and persistence along with an almost glossy mouthfeel. Lovely.

March 19, 2023 - Drinking beautifully. Bright fruit with soft tannins. Enough acid to pair with Mediterranean kabobs. Long and beautiful finish.
