Ken Brown Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills 2016 - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

Ken Brown Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills 2016

Ken Brown is one of Santa Barbara County’s originals. He has been crafting wine in the area since 1977 and was the founding winemaker at both Zaca Mesa Winery and Byron Winery. Ken was one of the first to realize the potential of Santa Barbara County to produce fine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. He was also the first to introduce Pinot Noirs relatives, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, and Syrah, to the area. After leaving Byron Winery in 2003, he started his own label specializing in small lot Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. He has downsized considerably, with only himself and his wife, Deborah, running the show, and producing a modest 2,500 cases of wine at Terravant Wine Center in Buellton, CA. Brown still consults for a number of larger labels.

Brown started the Byron label in 1984, sold it to the Robert Mondavi family in 1990 and stayed on as winemaker until 2005. He started the Ken Brown label in 2003, moved into a shared warehouse facility in Lompoc in 2005, and then to Terravant in 2008.

Critical Acclaim

91 Wine Enthusiast

There's a lot of barrel spice on the nose of this bottling, including mace and star anise, which lift up the rich boysenberry-pie and smoke tones. It's quite rich on the palate, full of more boysenberry and charred oak flavors.

Yes, in most cases, the photograph on the product page is of the specific bottle for sale. If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU. Any significant condition issues, such as low ullage or bin-stained labels, will be clearly noted in the product description.

For wine, we recommend storing bottles on their side in a dark, vibration-free environment with good humidity, ideally between 55-60°F. Spirits like whiskey should be stored upright in a cool, dark place (60-70°F) away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
