2020 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill

Tasting notes
Back to a more classic feel of ripeness, the 2020 Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill Vineyard is plush with kirsch, forest herbs, and potpourri. Full-bodied, with savory richness on the palate, ripe tannins, and a good purity of fruit, its notes of turned earth, sage, and black cherry fill the palate, with a bit of toasted cedar on the finish.

Rounded edges and velvety tannins wrap up this dusky, earthy, savory and cherry-scented wine for a complete package of indulgence that is also well balanced and refreshing. The integrated tannins, supportive acidity and medium body help showcase a beautifully complex composition. It is Russian River Pinot at the highest level.
