Convene by Dan Kosta Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2019 Red Wine

Convene by Dan Kosta Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2019 

93 pts. Wine Enthusiast:

"Rich fruit flavors and intricate spices blend beautifully in this ultrasmooth, full-bodied wine. White pepper, black cherries, sour cherries and a touch of wood smoke all add to its complexity. The wine offers mild tannins and a mouth-filling texture."

92 pts. Wine Spectator:

"This has a lush edge, with gently steeped raspberry and loganberry fruit gliding through, plus singed cedar and balsam wood accents. The finish is underscored by black tea and dried anise. Shows nice range and length. Drink now through 2027. 3,575 cases made."

Glory be! Dan Kosta, of Kosta Browne wines, has returned! After selling Kosta Browne to the Duckhorn folks, Dan took a break from the wine world, then started his own winery called Convene. He snagged his winemaker from his Kosta Browne days to collaborate with him on his new venture. The result is as we would expect - fantastic Pinot Noirs! - Wine Factor

SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR 2019

An elegant Pinot Noir with notes of crunchy red fruits, plum skin, and wilted rose. On the palate, flavors of wild strawberry, blueberry, and cola are accentuated with hints of green tea, graphite, and vanilla.
