Kosta Browne Pinot Noir 'Bootlegger's Hill' 2017
96 Points - James Suckling
This is a cooler and later-ripening site planted to various clones. Dried flowers and forest wood aromas with leafy and sappy notes lead to a palate with ripeness and lighter fruit flavours. Nicely detailed and very silky tannins and latent, rich blue-fruit flavours.
94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2017 Pinot Noir Bootlegger's Hill Vineyard reveals a medium ruby/translucent colour and a complex bouquet of redcurrants, leafy herbs, damp earth, iodine, and spice. Medium to full-bodied, with an elegant texture, lots of classic Russian River spice, and outstanding length.
91+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pale to medium ruby, it gives up friendly aromas of strawberry and raspberry jam, tangerine, tree bark and mushroom, plus nuances of peppercorn, charcuterie and aniseed. Medium-bodied, it's earth-driven in the mouth with a sturdy framing of ripe tannins and just enough freshness on the long finish.
91 Points - Wine Spectator
Crushed mineral notes flank the zesty raspberry and red fruit flavours. The juicy finish features lively acidity and light, spicy accents.
