2020 Kosta Browne Bootleggers Hill 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 93 RP - The 2019 Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill has a medium ruby color and bright aromas of Bing cherry, cranberry and citrus peel with accents of dried herbs, licorice and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is grainy and fresh, with appealingly crunchy fruits and a long, spicy finish. Give it another year or two in bottle to unwind.
Wine Spectator A very perfumed style, with lots of rose water, red tea and incense notes leading the way, backed by a racy-edged and focused core of blood orange and damson plum fruit. Sleek feel on the finish, with mesquite, mineral and savory details adding cut and length. A Pinot of a slightly different feather.

    Wine Spectator Rating A ripe, full-bodied style, with steeped raspberry and boysenberry fruit infused liberally with anise, savory and red tea notes. Reveals a singed cinnamon thread that lingers at the very end amid the alluring fruit.
