Dan Kosta is a trailblazer in high-quality domestic Pinot Noir, a luminary who, alongside Michael Browne, co-founded Kosta Browne Winery in 1997.
Known for his steadfast pursuit of perfection, Kosta has earned widespread acclaim through his unwavering dedication to crafting award-winning wines, including being awarded the coveted title of the #1 Wine on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2011.

Tasting Notes: “Bold, ripe and fruity, this full-bodied wine offers yummy black cherry and black currant aromas followed by juicy, generous fruit flavors and moderate oak spices. Good, grippy tannins add some texture and a good dash of tangy acidity keeps lifting the fruit. Best from 2026-2032.”

2021 CHARDONNAY
RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
$55.00
Tasting Notes: “Super expressive nose with wonderful ripe fruit flavours alongside butterscotch and toasty brioche. Wonderfully rich and full-bodied with plenty of salty mineral tension. Partial malolactic fermentation means the wine retains great tension, vibrancy, and freshness. Flavours run the spectrum from Meyer Lemon to apricots and white peaches. Crushed Marcona almonds are entangled in the finish, and I find this a balanced expression of California Chardonnay with the right amount of toasty richness and acidity.” 98 Points | Jonathan Cristaldi | Decanter.com
ADMIRE
2022 PINOT NOIR
SONOMA COAST
$32.00
Tasting Notes: “The Admire Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2022 begins with a deep, rich nose that includes red and black fruits, cola beans, baking spices, fresh herbs, and purple flowers. It continues on the palate with sweet black cherries, cranberries, and ripe red plums wrapped in soft, supple tannins that carry it to a long, elegant finish. These qualities allow it to be enjoyed immediately. Kudos to Dan Kosta and crew for making this high-quality easy-drinking Pinot Noir, then pricing it to be enjoyed much more regularly than its more expensive brethren.”
