Score 90/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Oct 2025

The 2015 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands is made in a more forward, pretty, ethereal style and offers lots of cherry, hints of framboise, sappy flowers, mint and forest floor aromatics. Lithe, elegant and lively on the palate, with bright acidity and an elegant style, drink it over the coming 5-6 years.

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.
