2016 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard | Santa Lucia Highlands Monterey County California 750ml

The 2016 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard is a powerhouse effort as well as one of the gems in this great lineup. Fermented with 16% stems and aged in 50% new oak (30% of this blend was in concrete), it reveals loads of black fruits, crushed rocks, graphite, and crushed rose petals. With medium to full body, sensational depth and richness, ultra-fine tannin, and a huge finish, it's up with the créme de la créme of this great vintage. | 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
