Wine Review: This clear and garnet colored Pinot Noir from Kosta Browne opens with a mild red cherry and clay bouquet with hints of faint cinnamon, leather, and green herbs. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced and smooth with good texture and freshness. The flavor profile is a stony minerality and spiced red plum blend with notes of red licorice and oak. We also detected hints of mushroom and black cherry. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and integrated dusty fine tannins show nice length. We would pair this Pinot with turkey dinner with stuffing and cranberry. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2023 Beaune Premier Cru reveals richness and concentration, with captivating scents of rose, ripe cherry, and a hint of lavender. Partial whole-cluster fermentation adds dimension and character, building structure while enhancing the wine’s layered profile. On the palate, it is generous and expansive, with remarkable length and a seamless, enveloping texture.
