A Californian Pinot Noir named wine of the Year
A Californian pinot noir stemming from a small
producer of Sonoma who does not possess
the slightest vineyard was elected Wine of the year by the influential American
magazine Wine Spectator.
Between 16.000 wines, the Kosta Brown 2009 (Pinot
Noir) was able to attract attention during a blind tasting. Wines was
considered according to the quality, the value for money, the availability and
the factor X (pleasure) .
The story of Kosta Browne producer is surprising:
the founders, Dan Kosta and Michael Browne, used to work as waiters and saved
all their tips to realize their dream. After 8 months, they bought one half-ton
of pinot noir grapes. They produced 66 high quality of wine for the next 10
years.

Grape variety: Pinot Noir from south and
north-west of Sonoma
Aromas: cherry, ripe cranberry, with an evolution
to black plum, sage, and Provencal herbs.
Price : 52$
