2016 | Kosta Browne | Pisoni Vineyard Pinot Noir

Copious amounts of black fruit, crushed rocks, graphite and muddled rose petals. Medium to full body, sensational depth and richness, ultra-fine tannin, and a long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Aged 16 months in 48% new French oak, the 2016 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard has a medium ruby color and slowly offers nuanced scents of rose petal, sage, crushed stone, Bing cherries and bright red berry fruit with accents of amaro and bitter citrus peel. Medium-bodied, it's wonderfully silky and perfumed with a gently chalky frame and addicting freshness, finishing long and nuanced. An elegant, perfumed style.

• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2016 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard is a powerhouse effort as well as one of the gems in this great lineup. Fermented with 16% stems and aged in 50% new oak (30% of this blend was in concrete), it reveals loads of black fruits, crushed rocks, graphite, and crushed rose petals. With medium to full body, sensational depth and richness, ultra-fine tannin, and a huge finish, it’s up with the crème de la crème of this great vintage.
