Enjoy two (2) bottles of wine from Kosta Browne Winery: a 2012 One Sixteen Russian River Valley Chardonnay & a 2011 Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir.  

Our One Sixteen Chardonnay is named after the Gravenstein Highway 116 which cuts through the town of Sebastopol, where this wine embodies the true character of the Green Valley sub-appellation; a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir hot spot within the Russian River Valley. The 2013 vintage is sourced from seven incredible vineyard sites in the Russian River Valley: Boudreaux, El Diablo, Heintz, Searby, Ulises Valdez and Martinelli’s Charles Ranch and Zio Tony Vineyards. These sites all have superb microclimates, generous natural acidity.

The Santa Lucia Highlands is one of the crown jewels of California viticulture, growing and producing some of the state’s best cool climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. The appellation encompasses more than 5,000 acres of prime vineyards, planted on the elevated terraces of the Santa Lucia mountain range. The area’s unique character was recognized with official AVA status in 1991.

The Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir is a blend of five vineyards; Garys’, Pisoni, Rosella’s, Sierra Mar and Soberanes. These vineyards are located in the heart of the Santa Lucia Highlands and are built upon a tradition of high quality winegrowing. We are so grateful for the friendship of the Pisoni and Franscioni families, whose own friendship spans three generations and who provided us access to this spectacular fruit. 

About Kosta Browne Winery: from http://www.kostabrowne.com/the_wine

Flavorful, intense wines - that is our goal. We believe every wine should be bursting with flavor. This intensity should be part of a greater balance. We find that each of our vineyards has its own "sweet spot" of balance. It is our charge to guide each vineyard to its optimum flavor potential.

Our single vineyard wines are blended to express the specific qualities and consistencies of our pedigreed vineyards. Pinot Noir is the perfect palate to define the terroir of these plantings.

We offer three appellation wines: our Sonoma Coast, Russian River and Santa Lucia Highlands and also a Chardonnay. These wines are blended to represent the best of our vineyards in each specific appellation. Quality is of utmost importance with these blends.
