medium ruby; red berries, rose petals, forrest floor, some oak influence; red fruits, silly tannins, 14% ABV; 6% whole cluster inclusion, fermented mostly in open top stainless steel and concrete, aged 44% in new French oak for 16 months and 16% in concrete for 10 months; the most elegant and balanced of KB’s appellation level bottlings; $68

Lovely sappy fruit. Very charming. Fairly complex, young and exuberant. There is a certain charm and beauty to it. I don’t feel that the Kosta Browne entry level wines warrant the hype or the absurd price point, but this is obviously well-made and broadly appealing. A pleasure to taste.

Had this with a William Selyem. Side by side, KB was bold and dense with deep plum and blueberry overtones. Still very young, but tasty.

Bright wild cheery and raspberry aromatics lead to similar expression on palate…lite tannins throughout…interestingly different from the 2013…feel comfort holding

Great fruit, very light for a KB Pinot feels like time to drink the rest of the case good but not great!
