WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Kosta Browne sourced from a variety of vineyards within the appellation, including Cerise Vineyard from their Estate series, to create a true representation of an Anderson Valley Pinot Noir blend. To capture this region's rustic beauty and retain freshness, the wine was fermented predominantly in stainless steel, as well as concrete and wood tanks. Intense aromas of juicy blackberries, dark cherry, and charred lemon are enhanced by an expansively layered, concentrated palate. Subtle oak and savory notes weave throughout for a captivating texture that draws the Pinot to a long, powerful finish.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2021 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is super spicy: Red Hots cinnamon candy, aniseed and Angostura bitters complement a core of red and black cherries and violet. The medium-bodied palate pairs concentrated fruit with velvety tannins and juicy acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years in the cellar.
