2020 Kosta Browne Giusti Ranch Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Discover the Artistry of Kosta Browne’s Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Crafted in California’s renowned Russian River Valley by vintners dedicated to excellence since 1987, this 2020 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir embodies the pinnacle of New World craftsmanship. Sourced from Giusti Vineyard’s elite three-clonal selection—each meticulously nurtured to amplify complexity—this wine undergoes precision-fermentation in both stainless steel tanks and French concrete vats. This dual approach preserves vibrant fruit-forward character while enhancing texture through subtle oak integration during its 18-month maturation in hand-selected French oak barrels.

Unveiling a symphony of flavors shaped by Sonoma County’s cool-climate terroir, each sip invites you into a world of opulent mountain berry aromas interwoven with dark cherry nuances. On the palate, juicy blueberry and blood orange brightness dance alongside hints of cocoa powder and warm baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A crisp red berry acidity balances rich layers of crushed stone mineral depth, culminating in a finish that lingers with refined elegance—a hallmark of Kosta Browne’s dedication to precision and tradition.

Perfect for connoisseurs seeking a harmonious blend of power and grace, this wine distinguishes itself through its meticulous craftsmanship: fermented without malolactic conversion to retain natural acidity; aged exclusively in 55% new oak for nuanced spice integration; bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its authentic essence. Whether paired with roasted game birds or savored as a meditation-worthy sip on its own, this Russian River Valley gem exemplifies why Kosta Browne remains synonymous with California’s finest Pinot Noir legacy. At 13.5% alcohol by volume, it offers approachable elegance without compromise—your gateway to experiencing artisanal winemaking at its most compelling.
