Coastal elegance meets dark berry power in this sophisticated Sonoma expression.

Dark boysenberry and dried strawberry leap from glass. Maritime influence clearโ€”sea spray minerality cuts through rich fruit core. Forest floor earthiness grounds the wine. Mocha notes emerge mid-palate, adding luxurious depth. Silky tannins carry long finish. This vintage shows remarkable integration. Coastal fog's cooling effect preserves acidity beautifully. Will develop gracefully through 2028. Classic Kosta Browne precision.
