Koosah Vineyard Chardonnay

Gorgeous nose of iodine, sweet wood, dark forest, herbs, woodland berries, green apple, salt and more. Palate is so tangy with meyer lemon, lime flesh and so much minerality. Like licking a stone on the finish and also has terrific sucrosity. Sweet tree bark on the nose now and also morning dew and flowers. Terrific inner mouth aromas and great concentration and sapidity. Long, mineral finish and this will open and I am here for the ride. Gets deeper with structure as it airs. Amazing finish. Potentially the best vineyard for Chardonnay in all of the Willamette Valley. After 11 hours open this is singing. Nose has wet moss, mint, hickory, saline and alpine scents. Palate is ripe, chewy, rich and energetic.

Terrific nose of lemon curd, minerals, smoke, crushed rocks, some light butter notes and lime zest. Some hints of fleshy citrus fruits as well. Gorgeous and so clean. Palate is energetic and steely with lots of acid and linearity. Juicy apple and citrus fruit and a long mineral finish. Needs air to unwind and I will be back. Terrific concentration and so salty on the finish with intriguing iodine notes on the mid palate. Really juicy ash coming together so quickly as it aerates. So harmonious. After this airs it gets a nice backbone and some elegant sweet wood in the mid palate. Now the finesse comes in spades and this is a 9.6 9.4 to 9.6 in 4 hours.

Steely, flinty style. I’m into it!

Stunning drinks like white burgundy

Seductive nose. Like a buttery, pillowy yellow tropical mystery fruit. A little bit like guava. Medium-light body, transparent, and the oak is still prominent though nicely done. This is very young, won’t touch my next bottle for another 3 yrs

Gorgeous nose. Iodine, saline and hazelnuts. Also lime blossom. Faint hint of citrus and stone fruits. Exceptional minerality. Super elegant and intense with superb concentration and focus. Salty finish with profound acidity. Really evocative nose that shows a sense of place. Palate has terrific finesse. More than 19. 20 was a wash because of the fires. Long finish and stellar balance. Wow. Almost a 9.5. Really focused and linear. Yes this was a 9.5.

Nose is so clean and pure. Smells like a scene in nature. Tree bark, wet soil, minerals galore. Another Burgundy ringer. Puligny for sure. Haunting complexity. Aromas just float on top of the glass. Wow. Rainwater. A pond. Moss. This nose is everything. Mint, fresh herbs. Nope I get barely any fruit which is awesome. This is a true vin de terroir. Wow. Opulent yet incisive and super pure. This is iodine city. This is so so Puligny. The iodine is the dead giveaway. What a stunning wine. As it aerates the complexity gets exponentially better. Nose is iodine city. This is so elite. Awesome concentration and purity. So complex and so compact. The minerality on this wine is insane. Holy shit. So clean on the finish. Just effortless and elite Chardonnay. What a finish!

Meyer lemon, touch bitter, quite acidic more top shelf chablis than white burgh.

Like a white Burgh. Hazelnut, meyer lemon. Plenty of acid. My favorite Oregon winery.

Hazelnut, Lemon, touch soft. There is no need to buy white Burghs we have the equivalent in Oregon. Much more carbon friendly!
