Lean, lemon. High acid, especially compared to prior years.

On the nose, faint mandarin orange and honeysuckle... On the palate, that mandarin orange is built upon with crisp green-yellow apple, mineral, and pencil shavings... More-than-medium acidity here that I think would power some nice food pairings here... A long finish that to me carries the apple flavors quite a while...

Bottle 2 of 3.
Toasted hazelnut aroma. Peach notes coming out in the glass.

This is the first Kosta chard I’ve ever had and I’m a big fan. Lots of slate/minerality, lemon curd, lemon zest, nuanced oyster brine, and crushed river rocks. Beautiful acidity. Awesome wine.

My first Kosta Browne chard! I like it! Opened it while cooking and it started with a nice lemon essence ... Over time it took on buttery notes with some toasted pear. Pairing just beautifully with my zucchini and pinenut pasta .... I may be deliriously happy, or my wine might taste like creme brûlée.
