Kosta Browne: Benchmark New World Pinot Noir
Founded in 1997 by childhood friends Dan Kosta and Michael Browne, Kosta Browne began with a simple ambition: to produce world-class Pinot Noir from California’s finest vineyard sites. The pair met while working at a restaurant in Santa Rosa, where their passion for Burgundy and cool-climate Pinot Noir inspired them to launch a winery with little capital but considerable determination.
Their first vintage consisted of just a few barrels produced in a rented facility. As the wines gained attention for their richness, texture, and expressive fruit, demand quickly grew. National recognition arrived when the 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir was named Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year in 2011, firmly establishing Kosta Browne as one of California’s most sought-after producers.
Today, Kosta Browne focuses on small-lot Pinot Noir from exceptional vineyard sites throughout the Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Anderson Valley. While the winery has evolved since its founding, its commitment to site expression, meticulous winemaking, and limited-production wines continues to define the brand.
This history adds a compelling element to any offer, as Kosta Browne represents not only outstanding Pinot Noir but also one of California’s modern wine success stories.
