Kosta Browne is a winery in Sebastopol, California, specializing in Pinot Noir. [8] Kosta Browne was founded in 1997 and is currently owned by Duckhorn Wine Company. [9] [10] [11]
In 1997, Dan Kosta and Michael Browne founded Kosta Browne Winery. [12] Their 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinor Noir won Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year Award in 2011. [13][ non-primary source needed] The winery relied on purchased grapes until 2013, when they bought a 20-acre vineyard, followed by a 60-acre purchase in Anderson Valley 2016. [14]
Kosta Browne was known for highly extracted wines made from very sugar-rich, ripe grapes, starting with the 2002 and 2003 vintages. Since 2015 the winery has changed its style towards less extraction. [15]
The winery has been sold twice to private-equity firms; in 2015, to J.W. Childs Associates; and in 2018, to the Duckhorn Wine Company, which is owned by TSG Consumer Partners. [16]
