Similar flavor profile as my previous notes, but even less verve than before. This is like a long, drawn out break up... Is it me or is it you?! I have this hopeless thought that someone from KB will…
Same as my CT notes from last month. I did not decant, as it did not need it at all. Ready to drink on a PnP just fine. My last bottle of the 2009 Gap's. One of the better bottles of KB that I've had…
Same as my specific CT notes from 12/9/2015. A good Pinot; not an amazing Pinot. A little more high-pitched red fruit notes this time around. I will try to give my other bottles another year to see…
A short decant gave way to notes of rich black cherry, raspberry, RC cola, clove, cinnamon, and evergreen. A nice array of tiered flavors, with the berry/fruit notes softening over two hours with air.
Essentially the same as my previous CT notes on this wine from 11/21/15, except that some time in the decanter allowed for a little more fruit to emerge. However, this wine still came off as flat and…
The only 2011 Kosta Browne in the whole lineup that survived to become a worthy Pinot from the 2011 vintage, the Gap's Crown displayed up-front flavors of black cherry, pomegranate, strawberry,…
Thankfully the 2012 KB Sonoma Coast is a different animal from the 2012 KB RRV bottling. While the RRV was a completely forgettable disappointment, the Sonoma Coast was able to kick out some of those…
PnP with soft, muted notes of creamy strawberry, rhubarb, red plum, raspberry, and only a faint touch of the signature cola flavor often indicative of KB Pinots.
Similar as my notes from 8/1/15. I noticed more of the typical KB cola, rhubarb, and sassafras notes this time around. Drinking well right now, and should sail through the next couple of years.
Black cherry, ripe raspberry, KB cola, vanillin cassis, and subtle wood smoke. Improved with an hour in the decanter. The best of the appellation 2012 KB Pinots at the moment.
A solid Pinot, with a seductively smooth and upfront appealing texture. Drinking really well at the moment. Lacks just a tad of the complexity of some other '10 KB Pinots. Tasted alongside '12 Bevan…
