deeply concentrated and firmly tannic style

along with plenty of cassis

but it shows elegance and persistence

black raspberry and black currant fruit

It will be a fascinatingly complex Champagne with further age

2010 Kosta Browne "Koplen Vineyard" Russian River Valley Pinot Noir deeply concentrated and firmly tannicThe 2010 Pinot Noir Koplen Vineyard is a classic Russian River Pinot. Plums, black cherries, mint, licorice and sweet spices all flesh out in the glass. I very much like the length and overall sense of polish. In 2010 the Koplen is striking in its beautiful balance and radiant, supple personality. The Koplen is among the wines that were partially fermented in oak vats, 20% in this case. In 2010, the Koplen also includes 20 25% whole clusters.
