Wilfred Wong: 96 Points “The 2018 Kosta Browne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is an outstanding effort. It starts authoritatively and finishes with a lasting touch. This wine offers a heady aroma of blueberries and blackberries and a fulfilling palate of ripe fruit, earth, and oak. Pair it with grilled lamb kababs.”

Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points “Starting off the Pinot Noirs, the 2018 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley was mostly destemmed and brought up in 31% new French oak. Its ruby/purple hue is followed by a wonderful bouquet of black cherries, darker raspberry, spice, and hints of earth and forest floor. It's a darker, spicy Russian River Valley effort that's medium to full-bodied and has terrific balance, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It shows the purity and class that now defines this estate. It's well worth seeking out and is going to keep for at least a decade.”
