The Niebaum name honors Gustave Niebaum

This is an especially pliant

and a hint of alcohol

but quite developed for a vintage of Latour at 10 years of age

2017 Kosta Browne Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Italian The Niebaum name honors Gustave"The 2017 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley comes from a multitude of sites and spent 17 months in 45% new French oak. It's slightly more reticent than the Sonoma Coast and offers more raspberry, ripe cherries, cola, mulled spiced, and earth. Rounded, beautifully textured, and medium to full bodied, it has a supple, seamless style that's already a joy to drink. Nevertheless, I suspect it will keep for upwards of a decade." 93 100 Wine Advocate
