History: Kosta Browne is a Sonoma-based winery specializing in single-vineyard Pinot Noir wines. It was informally founded by Dan Kosta and Michael Browne when the two pooled their tip money from restaurant work and bought some Pinot Noir grapes in 1997. Using second-hand equipment and a single oak barrel, they made their first – extremely limited – Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes:

Revealing aromas of dark berry fruit, wild sage, and chaparral with pops of vine-ripened raspberry. Thoughtfully well-balanced with silken waves of boysenberry, black cherry, and an electric acidity that leads to a long-lasting mineral finish.
