Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2013

Named for the wives of Dan Kosta and Emeril Lagasse, this Pinot is not readily available, yet quite enjoyable with the bacon wrapped Pork tenderloin at Mayacama. — 10 years ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2010

Serious stuff. Juicy dark cherry. The benchmark Pinot in CA alongside KB, though much denser than Kosta. — 11 years ago

Rollin' the Deiss!
This wine needs time in decanter. Slightly (and pleasantly) oxidized. Very traditionally crafted... there's a lightness to the texture and savory earthy character. No powerhouse Pinot. Not for the Kosta Browne lovers. My type of PN.

Kosta Browne

4 Barrel Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2004

Tasted blind, my guess was significantly older than 11 years. Brick red, port-like nose. Maybe stored improperly? Not bad, just confusing.. I've had better 4-Barrel. — 10 years ago

Amber Ridge Vineyard Syrah 2004

Terrific at the open, silky smooth texture and very round and balanced with a nice long finish. Kosta Brown's elegant touch shows in the structure of this big subtly jammy syrah. Too bad there's probably no '04's available but I'm loving this wine. — 11 years ago

Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir 2012

Finally trying Cherry Pie (from Hundred Acre). 3 different single vineyard Pinots from 2012. Stanly Ranch is dynamite (and a vineyard to keep an eye on). Reminiscent of Kosta Browne. Next up is Rodgers Creek. Darker fruit. Less explosive, but a nice wine. Third up is Carinalli. Way lighter, though some spice to it. It's fine, but doesn't hold a candle to the other two. (Thanks Mastro's in Scottsdale for hosting me!) — 10 years ago

Holy Cow!!!! Ulysses managed vineyard... Coastal influence. This is a winner for sure. Kosta brown for half the price. — 11 years ago
