White

This wine displays a lemon-gold hue with green flecks. The aromatics are incredibly fresh, featuring wet river stones, exotic white floral notes, and freshly cut ginger. Medium- to full-bodied, it offers remarkable staying power with dense notes of lemon, lemon oil, and beautiful stony minerals, accompanied by subtle flinty undertones. The finish is long and layered, driven by acidity. The acidity rushes in after the creamy citrus fruit dissolves, leaving you with bright, spicy acid tension and a wealth of exotic baking spices and absolutely firing on all cylinders. The wine underwent fermentation in a combination of 7% concrete egg, 15% concrete amphora, 41% new French oak, 24% once-filled French oak, and 13% several-times-used French oak. It was then aged for 15 months in 41% new French oak, 24% once-used French oak, 13% several-times-used French oak, and 22% concrete vessels. CHEV is a project from Kosta Browne co-founder Michael Browne and his wife, Sarah Browne. The label was introduced in 2013, after they established CIRQ, focusing on Pinot Noir from their stunning 6-hectare estate and winery in the heart of the Russian River Valley. In 2024, Cabell Coursey joined the team to elevate their craft further.
