Duckhorn Wine Company does indeed own Kosta Browne. This acquisition took place in 2018 when Duckhorn Wine Company purchased Kosta Browne from its previous owners.
I remember hearing about this news as a wine enthusiast because both Duckhorn and Kosta Browne are highly regarded in the industry. Duckhorn Wine Company is known for its commitment to producing high-quality wines, particularly their acclaimed Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. On the other hand, Kosta Browne has made a name for itself with its exceptional Pinot Noir offerings.
When I first learned about the acquisition, I was intrigued to see how the union of these two respected wineries would unfold. I wondered if there would be any changes in the winemaking style or if Kosta Browne would retain its signature approach to crafting elegant Pinot Noir.
Over the years, I have had the pleasure of tasting wines from both Duckhorn and Kosta Browne, and I have always been impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into each bottle. While I haven’t had the opportunity to taste any wines produced under the ownership of Duckhorn Wine Company, I have heard positive feedback from fellow wine enthusiasts who have enjoyed Kosta Browne wines since the acquisition.
It’s worth noting that Duckhorn Wine Company has a history of acquiring and nurturing other wineries while allowing them to maintain their unique identities. They have a portfolio of distinct wineries, each with its own winemaker and philosophy. This approach suggests that Kosta Browne may continue to operate independently, with its talented winemaking team continuing to craft their exceptional Pinot Noir.
Duckhorn Wine Company does indeed own Kosta Browne. While I don’t have personal experience with the wines produced under Duckhorn’s ownership, I am optimistic that they will continue to uphold the high standards and reputation that both Duckhorn and Kosta Browne have established in the wine industry.
