Kosta Browne Cerise Vineyard Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, USA 2021

Cerise Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 is a striking single-vineyard Pinot Noir from one of Anderson Valley’s most acclaimed high-elevation sites. Perched on steep, rugged slopes near the coast, Cerise delivers wines of intensity and freshness, and the 2021 vintage is no exception. Aromas of raspberry, cherry, blood orange, and subtle fennel lead into a richly layered palate with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a distinctive mineral edge. Powerful yet beautifully balanced, it finishes long and refined with both immediate appeal and excellent aging potential. Highly rated and tightly allocated, this is a standout California Pinot Noir from a benchmark vineyard.

"Structured and substantial in earthy, forested notes, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard is made from a selection of multiple clones, 6% whole-cluster fermented in stainless steel, concrete, and oak, and aged in new French and Austrian oak for 18 months. Subtle layers of crisp red fruit adorn a palate of underlying elegance beneath a graceful layering of chalky tannins and floral aromatics. Age through 2041." Jeb Dunnuck 95
