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: 

Alluringly rich red and black cherry fruit aromas are accented by dried wild herbs and lavender with a hint of baking spice. Rich berry fruit notes are complemented by zesty blood-orange acidity. Seamlessly integrated tannins glide to a long finish accompanied by dried rosemary.
