2016 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill Russian River Valley
Once an apple orchard and a region used to cart moonshine throughout prohibition, the 30-acres of Bootlegger’s Hill Vineyard sits 750 feet above sea level and the fog line, surrounded by redwood and fir trees. Slightly cooler than Treehouse Vineyard, these wines have intrinsic elegance, sumptuous fruit and a hint of spice.
Though the ranch features two blocks of Chardonnay, it is dominated by seven varieties of Pinot Noir clones planted in the region’s hallmark sandy loam Goldridge soils, derived from an ancient sea bed. Bountiful options of rootstock and various pruning methods within the vineyard make for a beautifully layered and interesting wine. This classic Russian River Pinot Noir will be prime to enjoy over the next decade due to its expansive palate, silky tannins, and notes of rose and forest floor.
Nose: Intense concentration of red fruits with hints of hibiscus and rose petal. Notes of forest, sandalwood and baking spice create a beautiful balance.
Mouth: Silky, energetic entrance with a sophisticated and lifted mid-palate. Earthy notes of fresh herbs are framed with blue fruit and highlights of alpine berry.

Aged 16 months in 45% new French oak, the pale to medium ruby colored 2016 Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill gives up loads of violet and lilac perfume with crushed black cherries, cranberry sauce, macerated strawberries and forest floor plus accents of tobacco leaf and woodsmoke. It's medium-bodied with broody, spicy character in the mouth, refreshed by juicy acidity and framed by grainy tannins, finishing long. 1,125 cases produced.
The 2016 Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill is an addition to the range. Dark red stone fruit, mint, lavender, spice and new leather fill out the wine's fleshy, textured core nicely. I would give the 2016 a year or two to open up, as it appears to have quite a bit of nuance lurking in the background, just waiting for the right moment to emerge
