Walter Scott 'Koosah Vineyard', Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon 2023
Decanter: “Simply incredible. An intense assemblage of ripe, juicy Meyer lemon brings a depth of fruit to the flinty, saline edges. Aromas of honey, lemon pulp and ocean air balance opulence with the signature Walter Scott mineral intensity. Th palate offers fleshy white peaches, rich lemon curd, and soaring acidity, all framed by chipped flint and salinity. This steep site is among the highest in Willamette Valley and is becoming one of the region’s top Chardonnay vineyards. 13% alc. Drink now-2038.“ 98 points
Jeb Dunnuck: “Bright straw/yellow in hue, the 2023 Chardonnay Koosah Vineyard is snappy and brilliant, with forward, reductive notes of matchstick, white peach, citrus blossom, green apple, and delicate spice. The palate is racy and driven, showcasing vibrant acidity and pronounced minerality, with a long, salty finish layered with toasted incense and smoky, savory nuances. Built to age, this wine demands time. Drink 2027-2047.” 97 points
