Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Keefer Ranch Russian River Valley 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

96 James Suckling -
Rust, rock and stone. Blueberry and blackberry. Very aromatic. Full to medium body, tight and linear. Racy and so fine. Tangy acidity. Needs two to three years to soften. But a fascinating wine now to taste.
94 Jeb Dunnuck -
From a site purchased by the team in 2012, the 2015 Pinot Noir Keefer Ranch comes from the heart of the Green Valley (this is the classic Goldridge soils, as well as smaller amount of clay). Completely destemmed in 2015 and aged 75% in a mix of wood or concrete. Its ruby color is followed by a perfumed, lifted bouquet of caramelized plums, raspberries, flowers, exotic spices and blood orange. Powerful and concentrated, yet still light on its feet and gracefully, with fine tannin and integrated acidity, it’s a seriously good Pinot Noir from this team that’s going to evolve through 2025.
94 Vinous -
The 2015 Pinot Noir Keefer Ranch is a gorgeous and super-expressive wine in which all of the elements come together, unlike some of the other 2015s that are a bit aggressive at this stage, the Keefer is wonderfully expressive, nuanced and inviting. Red fruit, blood orange, mint and sweet spice notes add to the wine's considerable appeal. If I had an opportunity to buy any of these wines, the Keefer would be at or near the top of my list. The 2015 is an especially refined Russian River Pinot.
90 Wine Spectator -
A wine of substance and finesse, full of supple earth, gravel-laced berry and plum flavors. A charmer. Drink now through 2022. 2,238 cases made.

Truly great wines are born in the vineyard. Over the years, Kosta Browne made it their business to find incredible growers and vineyards in key appellations throughout California. Every vintage a story is told of these chosen vineyards through the medium of wine. Their efforts reflect the character in some way, of every person and every vineyard site; the shared experiences of that year. Kosta Browne's appellation blends are inspired by a desire to capture the specific beauty of each of these growing regions. Kosta Browne produces three appellation Pinot Noirs - Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast and Santa Lucia Highlands, and one Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley.
