2020 Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills
“Kosta and Browne created their label with one barrel of pinot noir. To finance their enterprise, they pooled their tips from working at Santa Rosa’s John Ash Restaurant, where Kosta was wine director. Eventually, after selling their namesake brand to Napa Valley’s Duckhorn Vineyards in 2018, they moved on.”
