TASTING NOTES

AROMA

A mix of briary berries jump out of the glass, a prelude to full, ripe fruit ranging from raspberry and blackberry to juicy plum and cherry.

PALATE

Unmistakably full bodied, but complex in the vast array of fruit profile. Raspberry, blackberry, dark cherry, cassis, and plum play off each other on the palate. The structure is evident in the finish, where silky tannins offer a vehicle for the lingering berry fruit.

The Koplen Vineyard lies in the Middle Reach of the Russian River appellation, just off of Olivet Road. Slightly sloped, this young vineyard is showing bold fruit with complex flavors. Dennis Koplen farms the vineyard and Kosta Browne is the only producer to take fruit from this vineyard.

RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
THE RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY IS hallowed ground for lovers of great Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Here, the vines are submersed in clockwork fog and daytime temperature swings, which preserve the natural acidity essential to elegant, age-worthy wines. We work with a handful of the most beloved vineyards from this remarkable wine region considered by many to be the heartland of California Pinot Noir. Within Russian River Valley, in a town tucked away from the main roads, you’ll find a community ranging from writer to artisan. The town of Graton is an area where local winemakers and growers take a respite and enjoy some of the many popular yet under-the-radar restaurants. During harvest, the little town is full of life and bustling.
