Really revs up the flavors on the finish

These latest releases from Charles Smith check in at the top of the pyramid and are flat out incredible wines that I wish every reader could taste

Already bottled

A nice take on Zinfandel from this famous source

2008 Kosta Browne "Kanzler Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir The 2014 Vosne-Roman̩e les BarreauxFull bodied, complex and focused, with aromas of cola, sassafras, ripe plum and wild berry. The flavors fan out nicely, gaining richness and picking up a touch of black tea and plum jam flavors. Ends with fine grained tannins. Drink now through 2016.
