Just a fantastic Pinot that drinks way above its price point and I enjoyed it more than many other Pinots that cost more. Good time to be drinking this one. — 10 years ago
We are having a bottle of Kubota Manju (one of my best sake) and a bottle of Kubota Tokugetsu (seasonal sake made in autumn annually) with the boys while eating kaiseki sushi at Sakuraya. Hiro Sakurada, owner/chef won a contest in Washington DC as the best sushi chef in America in 2000. After closing his many restaurants in New York, he and his wife Keiko opened a BYOB sushi restaurant in Honolulu. After running out of sake, we opened a bottle of Kosta Browne and it was a delight. Surprisingly, it went well with sushi. — 10 years ago
Good the first day. Better the next. Decanting will smooth this one out into the SLH you know and love. Luscious Pino. — 11 years ago

Hands down, one of my favorite "accessible" Pinots. — 12 years ago
Not bad at all for a Pinot Noir. Not a type of wine I'd pick off a shelf anywhere, but if you have to drink Pinot, this probably is a good one. — 13 years ago
Its the right amount of earthiness , rich bouquet, wonderful finish. Some wines finish with that sweet alcohol taste, not this one, earthy all the way through. 2012 vintage. — 10 years ago

One of the nicest Pinots I've had recently. Berries at the front with a touch of spice at the finish. Very smooth and very easy to drink. Will definitely buy again. — 11 years ago
This might make you say "America!" in an exclamatory way, like we won wine making. You should get involved with this one. — 11 years ago
One of the best chardonnay's I've ever had. Not too buttery, not dry, very good crisp white to drink on a warm evening. — 12 years ago
A fantasy Pinot that lingers in your mouth far after it is gone. I really enjoyed this one! — 13 years ago
From Pisoni's (excellent) second label Lucia, this was part of a three bottle horizontal consisting of the 2011 Santa Lucia Highlands, Garys' Vineyard, and Soberanes Vineyard offerings. The Garys' was definitely drinking the best, but I suspect this one will ultimately surpass it. Right now it's a bit too closed and probably should have been decanted. All three wines were terrific, though (not at the level of the Pisoni Estate, but still excellent wines). — 10 years ago

Day 1: Very pure bright strawberry and cherry. Super fresh and weightless.
Day 2: Damp earth, smoke, and spice....same weightlessness.
Two wines for the price of one. — 11 years ago
