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

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

  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.

  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.

  Drinking beautifully. Bright fruit with soft tannins. Enough acid to pair with Mediterranean kabobs. Long and beautiful finish.
