Tasting notes
A bright, saturated ruby color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is expressive on opening, with aromas of cranberry cocktail, bright toasted spice, cedar, and pressed flowers. Medium-bodied, it has a ripe but focused feel, with a silky texture and a long, spicy note through the finish. Drink 2026-2038.

While great Pinot Noirs from the USA to Otago, and Burgundy can be found (often with plenty of $$$$$), I always return to the Sonoma Coast to find my favorites. The spry 2022 Kosta Browne rocks with the best of them. This outstanding wine excels with aromas and flavors of alluring sandpaper dust, hints of licorice, and early summer blackberries. Enjoy it with lamb tagine (a slow-braised, aromatic North African dish with dried fruit and spices). ((Tasted: April 15, 2025, San Francisco, CA)
Lifted aromas of dried strawberries, dried herbs, forest floor and spices. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of boysenberries, mocha and sea spray. Generous, with a seamless finish.
