2016 Kosta Browne 'Rosella's Vineyard' Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands

(93 Points) From the Santa Cruz Mountains south of Monterey, the 2016 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is one of the more exotic, perfumed wines in the lineup, which is the hallmark of this vineyard. Cherry blossoms, wild strawberries, orange peel, and violet notes give way to a floral, elegant, nuanced 2016 that has good acidity as well as texture. It's going to be even better this time next year and keep for 7-8 years. Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
