#7 of Jura Savoie evening
Amazing nose - dried apricot, sharp lemon acidity, kumquat, pomelo Marmelade, candied Mandarine peel, golden raisins. Amazing. Could smell this forever.
On the palate this shows amazing balance. High sweetness and high acidity with brilliant drinkability and freshness. Great precision and energy. This is soo good!! — a year ago

Little Wine #10 Syrah

9.0

Switching gears and changing lanes. New bathroom done!
We are a touch surprised by this example.. Vegetal notes on the nose transition to the palate. Nice weight and texture on the mid-palate, with perfect acidity. Notes of coffee, autumn leaves and brown sugar, but not sweet on the finish. Slight meaty note completes a good but not great example.
Day 2. Revising my score downwards. — a year ago

Interesting notes. I enjoyed little wine #6 and #7, but can’t get my hands on any of the recent vintages to compare.Happy holidays, @Ron R!

A syrah for the bathroom? Now that’s a review. 👍

My highest rated and very few and far between cali chard. Really vibrant and powerful pear, crisp apple and citrus. Better palate than very muted aromatics even with a decant. High octane 14.5%. #7 WS of 2020. — 9 months ago

We tasted nine Kosta Browne Pinots from 2005-2013, all from the Keefer Ranch vineyard. The 2013 definitely tasted youthful, even slightly tannic. Got better in the glass in time. #7 — a year ago

Was told last year when I tried to schedule a visit they charge everyone an “experience” fee, which is non-refundable, and is charged regardless of how much wine is purchased…I passed. Too bad, I enjoy their wines.

Tom Garland

@Shay A I have more recently been selecting wineries offering food&wine combo pairings for visits, so not expecting a refund.....though, this one was basically just a tasting (included a small meat/cheese plate) and yes there was no tasting fee discount for the wines I purchased.
