Kosta Browne

Kosta Browne is a winery based in Russian River Valley, California, focused on producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The producer works primarily with fruit from their home appellation, which has become recognized for cool-climate viticulture in Northern California.

Russian River Valley is characterized by morning fog and afternoon breezes that create extended growing seasons, allowing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to develop complexity while maintaining acidity. The appellation's moderate temperatures and diverse soils support the production of elegant, food-friendly wines rather than heavily extracted styles. This maritime influence is a defining feature of the region's winemaking approach.

The current range includes multiple vintages of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir alongside a Chardonnay offering under the One Sixteen label. The focus on these two varieties reflects both the appellation's strengths and the winery's specialization in wines that emphasize balance and regional character.
