An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines “The 2017 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was aged for 10-17 months in 40% new French oak, 15% wood tanks and 6% concrete tanks. Medium ruby, it’s broodily scented with black cherries, underbrush, pencil shavings and dried tobacco leaves with notions of spice and red berry sparks. Light to medium- bodied and earthy in the mouth, it has a pleasantly chalky frame and great juicy freshness, finishing long.” - Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate December 2019 2017 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir www.KostaBrowne.com | 220 Morris Street Sebastopol, CA 95472 | (866) 367-9945 92 Points

“The 2017 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was aged for 10-17 months in 40% new French oak, 15% wood tanks and 6% concrete tanks. Medium ruby, it’s broodily scented with black cherries, underbrush, pencil shavings and dried tobacco leaves with notions of spice and red berry sparks.

POINTS

“As good as it gets. These wines reach the peak of my personal

scale of quality.”

“Moving to the two reds, the appellation

2017 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast reveals a

ruby/purple, translucent color as well as a

stunning perfume of black raspberries,

cassis, crushed violets, spice box, sweet

earth. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has

beautiful depth, a kiss of background oak,

and a great finish. Mostly destemmed and

aged 17 months in 40% new French oak,

it's a brilliant wine to drink over the coming

decade or more.”

“Outstanding”

“Lots of the blue fruits and dried flowers

on the nose. Oyster shell too. Medium to

full body, linear and vibrant. Energetic.

Clean and intense finish. Drink or hold.”

POINTS

“Outstanding; a wine of superior character and style”

“Features a polished texture, with

concentrated cherry tart, currant and

raspberry flavors that are supported by

fresh tannins. The crisp, focused finish

reveals forest floor notes, accented by hints

of dried sage.”

-Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator
