Where fog rolls in from Monterey Bay and lemon groves border the vineyard edge, Gary Franscioni planted Rosella's Vineyard in 1996 with the coveted Pisoni clone. Kosta Browne's 2011 captures this maritime terroir in a perfumed, lifted Pinot—pure dark cherries, orange peel, sappy underbrush, and rose petal create a wine that's both energetic and elegant on the palate. Destemmed and aged in a blend of new French and Austrian oak, this brilliant Pinot possesses the kind of purity and longevity that defines Santa Lucia Highlands at its best.
