Allow me to introduce you to the 2021 Kosta Browne Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, an exceptional example of Californian craftsmanship. This red is a reflection of the pristine Anderson Valley within the North Coast of California, a region known for its cool oceanic influences, which impart distinct nuances to the grapes cultivated there.

The 2021 vintage exhibits a rich and broad style, with a brilliance in color that captivates the eye. The nose is greeted by an enticing bouquet of boysenberry and blackberry puree notes, interwoven with the freshness of pine forest, anise, and black tea. This aromatic profile sets the stage for the complex and intriguing palate to follow.

On the palate, this Pinot Noir is a medium-bodied wine, beautifully balanced by a chalky and refreshing texture. The wine takes a moment to unveil its cedary new oak, which further unravels into a tapestry of red cherry, pipe tobacco, and garrigue. The concentrated, spicy fruit core is framed by the delicate influence of 38% new French oak, in which the wine matured for 13 months.

The finish lingers long, laced with a tantalizing blend of baking spices that echoes the complexity of the wine. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this wine expertly balances power and elegance, culminating in a wine that is both profound and approachable.

Admired by wine reviewers, this Pinot Noir holds a score of 91 from Wine Spectator and an impressive 93 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. Enclosed by a traditional cork, each bottle promises an authentic wine experience that can be enjoyed now through 2027. This Kosta Browne Anderson Valley Pinot Noir is a testament to the exceptional quality and distinctive character of Mendocino's terroir.
