Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard - 2019 (750ml)

95 points Robert Parker

The 2019 Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard is drinking beautifully, with expressive aromas of red cherries, amaro and tobacco leaves. The medium-bodied palate offers a fantastic intensity-to-weight ratio; its abundant fruits are supported by fine, chocolaty tannins and seamless freshness, and it finishes long and layered.

This Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir shows just how well this finicky grape does in California. It also shines a light on the Gap's Crown, one of the most iconic vineyards of the Sonoma Coast, consistently producing Pinot Noirs of distinction. The 2019 Kosta Browne is a lovely combination of abundant fruit concentration and refreshing tension. It bursts with flavors of blueberry, brambly berries, baking spice, and a subtle hint of honeycomb. The palate has delicate tannins and immensely gratifying acidity. This wine promises a long life ahead and is a testament to the incredible talent of the Kosta Browne team. (Miranda Franco)
