Admire Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

94 points Kevin Vogt

Dan Kosta, a visionary pioneer in premium domestic Pinot Noir, co-founded Kosta Browne Winery with Michael Browne in 1997. The Admire Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2023 is a brilliant expression of the region's character. Its nose is a fragrant bouquet of red cherries, baking spices, daisy petals, and tangerine zest, while the palate delivers a lively dance of bright red plums, tart cherries, and a touch of cola. The wine's classic Sonoma Coast minerality and fresh acidity create a beautifully balanced profile that lingers on the finish. While it shares the same 94-point rating I gave its riper 2022 counterpart, this vintage offers a distinct charm with its brighter, fresher fruit and enduring concentration.
