critic reviews

94+/100Eric Guido,Vinous

The 2022 Pinot Noir Koosah Vineyard opens with a savory herbal flourish complicated by hints of chalk dust and wild blueberries. This displays textures of pure silk, pliant and supple, with depths of red and blue fruits that slowly saturate toward the close. It leaves a tart cherry saturation with nuances of licorice and spice over a bed of gently grippy tannins. Koosah is shaping up to be one of the most exciting locations Walter Scott works with.

95/100Erin Brooks,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Pinot Noir Koosah Vineyard comes from vines planted in 2016 in volcanic soils at 720 to 1,080 feet of elevation. Matured in 35% new oak for 15 months, it opens slowly on the nose and, with air, reveals pure scents of pomegranate, rhubarb, cinnamon stick, tangerine peel and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated fruit and abundant, powdery tannins that give this wine a sense of power. It's balanced by juicy acidity, and it has a long finish laced with fruit, flowers and spice. 150 cases were made.
