Natural Cork

The second Santa Lucia Highlands source for Dan Kosta and Shane Finley is Garys' Vineyard, also planted to the Pisoni clone of Pinot Noir. It ripens a little earlier than Rosella's by about 10 days, typically showing less tannin and more elegance with more blue floral notes. It's not as compact as Rosellsa's. Dan Kosta has harvested fruit from Garys' since 2005 when the fruit went into his former Kosta Browne label. Super savoury aromatics of dried sage, rosemary, and thyme, along with intriguing yellow curry aromatics and red berry fruits, have become more defined on the palate. An extraordinary mocha richness envelops the senses, balanced by elegant conifer spices, and the lengthy finish is refreshing with crunchy red skin acidity. It's just a delicious wine to drink.
