Vinous | Rating: 88
Kosta Browne's 2015 Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) is soft, delicate and open-knit, with lovely bright red fruit and attractive floral overtones. Medium in body and gracious, the 2015 is a pretty wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. The tannins are a bit aggressive, but otherwise the 2015 is very good. The Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot is a blend of fruit from Sierra Mar and Soberanes.Author: Antonio GalloniWine Spectator | Rating: 92
Tight and spicy, with a sassafras edge to the wild berry and raspberry flavors, offering a hint of anise and licorice. Lively acidity keeps this fresh and zesty. Drink now through 2023. 1,251 cases made.Author: James LaubeJamesSuckling.com | Rating: 93

California is the heartland of wine production in the US, and the state that brought prestige to American wine thanks to the pioneers who built early wineries like Staglin, Beringer, Ridge, Mayacamas and Chateau Montelena in the 1800s. Its large geographic area ensures a great diversity in growing sites, varieties grown, and quality levels. Generalizations about the state's wines have numerous exceptions; however, a few key facts generally hold true—ample sunshine, dry weather during the growing season, and moderate winters prevail. Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon continue to dominate the state's production—albeit in continually smaller percentages, as growers continue to diversify. More than 100 different varieties can be found throughout the state.
