Each year, as we welcome the first bin of Pinot Noir grapes to our cellar, our team gathers to raise a glass in celebration with a blessing of the grapes. This year, our tradition held special significance as we blessed our first bin of Bacigalupi grapes with our inaugural vintage of Keefer Ranch Blanc de Blanc Sparkling wine.
.
This time-honored tradition not only bestows blessings upon the grapes but, as our Winemaker Julien Howsepian eloquently expressed, extends its benevolence to all the crops throughout the year, the inhabitants of the land, and the dedicated employees and their loved ones, all of whom share in the challenges of harvest and the winemaking process.
.
Here`s to our dedicated team and the exciting harvest journey ahead!

“Rosella’s Pinot Noir has a presence like no other. Perfumed rose petals, orange blossom, and raspberry; this wine is deeply structured with well-integrated tannins and a pop of red fruit. It’s endearing, elegant, and beautiful.” - Winemaker Julien Howsepian.

As we closely monitor the progress of our vineyards, we`re seeing the veraison stage has commenced in certain areas, while in others, we are eagerly awaiting its arrival.
.
Currently, these berries exhibit a firm, green texture and a pronounced tartness that, in due course, will develop a balanced sweetness. Veraison holds significant importance in the vine`s growth cycle as it serves as a pivotal marker, offering insight into the proximity of harvest.

We are thrilled to share that Erin Brooks (@joiedevino) from @Wine_Advocate has awarded three of our wines 94 points. It`s an honor to be recognized for our dedication to crafting wines that explore some of the most celebrated winemaking regions.
.
2021 Kosta Browne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir – 94 Points
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley was matured for 15 months in 34% new oak. It has a medium ruby color and generous aromatic layers of lavender, licorice, eucalyptus and forest floor with a core of dark fruit. The medium-bodied palate is powerful, its concentrated fruit complemented by well-integrated oak spice. It has abundant, grainy tannins, bursts of mouthwatering acidity and a very long, layered finish. Offer it another 2-3 years in bottle to unwind."
.
2021 Kosta Browne Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir – 94 Points
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands comes from Garys`, Rosella`s, Pisoni, Sierra Mar and Soberanes vineyards, and it was matured for 14 months in 49% new oak. It has a medium ruby color and a deep well of aromas: pomegranate, raspberry and cranberry are accented by touches of autumn leaves, tea leaves and spice. The palate is light-bodied, gently chalky and mountwatering with generous spicy fruit and a long, layered finish replete with floral tones."
.
2020 Kosta Browne Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir Rita`s Crown – 94 Points
"Harvested September 30-October 4, the 2020 Pinot Noir Rita`s Crown was matured in 51% new oak for 16 months. Medium ruby-purple in color, it has gregarious scents of wild berry preserves, mixed tea leaves, pepper and loads of floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate has a compact core of powerful fruit, grainy tannins and seamless acidity, and it finishes long and gently cedary."
