2014 Kosta Browne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

2014 Kosta Browne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir"The appellation 2014 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley from this team is a smoking effort. Mostly destemmed and brought up in 44% new French oak, it's loaded with notions of black raspberries, toasted spice, licorice and underbrush. These give way to a full bodied, concentrated, textured Pinot Noir that packs plenty of fruit, while never losing the elegance and purity of the variety. It will evolve every bit as well as most of the single vineyard

offering glimpses of black raspberries

dried herb

layered and full of verve

While there’s no shortage of tannin here

So tangy and energetic with sizzling acidity and creamy tannins

with extraordinary mid-palate amplitude

fat and autolytic

potent style

this is packed full of savoury blackberry

"A seemingly immortal wine

and very approachable and delicious

Mocha joins the party on the long finish
