Kosta Browne Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2021

The 2021 Kosta Browne Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir is a masterful exploration of one of California’s most dramatic cool-climate regions. Sourced from prestigious vineyards defined by maritime fog and transverse mountain ranges, this vintage captures the signature tension and intensity of the area. It offers a captivating bouquet of wild strawberries, hibiscus, and crushed pomegranate, layered with nuanced notes of orange zest and dried thyme. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and vibrantly structured, showcasing a core of bright red fruit supported by ultra-fine tannins and a distinct saline minerality. The finish is remarkably long and energetic, reflecting the cool, wind-swept terroir of the Sta. Rita Hills.
