2019 Kosta Browne Treehouse Vineyard Pinot Noir
Kosta Browne is one of the great American success stories of the last decade. The story begins when longtime friends Dan Kosta and Michael Browne discover a shared passion for Pinot Noir while working together at a local restaurant. They start with a tiny amount of homemade Pinot Noir, grow gradually, acquire some financing along the way, work their tails off and one day the mailing list requires a five year wait for the vineyard designated wines. Of course I am simplifying, but Kosta Browne is the type of entrepreneurial success that can only happen in this country. Over the years, as the winemaking approach has developed, the wines have become much more finessed than they used to be. Toast levels have come down. Some lots are fermented in open top wood vats, an approach that seems promising based on the wines I tasted. A number of the wines were fermented with whole clusters, as noted below. The Kosta-Browne Pinots are notable for their exuberant fruit. The wines are incredibly attractive when young, which is when I prefer to drink them.

Robert Parker 96 RP - Deep ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Treehouse Vineyard features very layered aromatics, segueing from intense pomegranate and blue and black berries, to Earl Grey tea leaves, underbrush and violet as it airs in the glass. The medium-bodied palate offers power and nuance, with deep, earth-laced red fruits supported by abundant, grainy tannins and a flavorful finish refreshed by bright bursts of acidity.
Wine Spectator This is bursting with juicy raspberry and black cherry notes, with a light savory edge that adds nice cut. Subtle spice and tea shadings line the finish, which shows lively energy.
