Great Pinot from great region…Russian River Santa Lucia Highlands from where many fine Pinots evolve. Agree with the pros and the guy who lists about 47 flavors out of this wine…wow, wish I had his taste buds but it may be a nuisance (he must be a chef or a herb farmer)…what a palate! My tastes are more prosaic…a big elegant Pinot, deep dark berry, legs and full flavored, full-bodied yet velvety smooth, perfect balance with a few hours of open…bought by all the surgeons and lawyers…one of the very top Pinots…

Was starting to get off KB as a lot of them were starting to seem sweet but really enjoying this. I get the cola and nice rounded acidity

Savory red and blue fruits with a touch of earth and spice and a nice finish.

The most approachable early of the non single vineyard 2016 Kosta Brownes. Stunning wine. Cherry bark, cinnamon, anise, touch of vanilla. I decanted for one hour.
