2021 Kosta Browne Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Bright red fruit with delightful aromas of earth, pine, clove, and cinnamon stick. Soft on the palate with juicy cranberry, cherry, and strawberry fruit notes. Subtle citrus adds nuance to a smooth finish. Vivino 4.5pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 93pts Matured for 15 months in 52% new oak, the 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has a very pretty expression this vintage. The nose features detailed scents of blueberries, strawberries, Earl Grey tea leaves and forest floor, and the medium-bodied palate offers generous, perfumed fruit on a delicate frame, finishing long and layered. James Suckling 93pts A subtle and pretty pinot with a lovely middle palate with a fine dusty tannin texture to it. Medium body and succulent with a savory finish. Orange peel. Lovely finish. This is very tame.
