Kosta Browne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2016

The wait time for getting an allocation of Kosta Browne 4 Barrel Pinot Noir is 12 years. 12 years for 3 bottles of wine. Crazy– but I understand. Few wines made in America are more sought after than Kosta Browne; a winery that has a knack for making sexy, hedonistic Pinot that is almost impossible not to love at first sip. It’s also really hard to get– forget the 4 Barrel Pinot, I am talking about just their basic appellation wines.

I found a few bottles in my deep stash of the 2016 Kosta Browne. I saved it at the time because it had that kind of potential to be a very special wine with a few more years of aging. I just dipped in and was pleasantly surprised to see how this is progressing. It’s so seamless and expertly woven and still has so much life ahead of it. I’m making three available for a short time. Don’t miss em.
