The clear ruby-hued 2022 Pinot Noir Koosah Vineyard offers notes of black cherries, pressed roses, cardamom, a hint of licorice, and sweet herbs. Coming from volcanic soils and 7-year-old vines, it’s a very appealing red, with great length, a seamless, weightless feel and a note of incense on the long finish. Drink 2024-2040. 150 cases were produced.-Audrey Frick, JebDunnck
Mouthfuls of glorious fresh berries and mint mark this bottling from Koosah Vineyard, the darling own-rooted site in the Eola-Amity Hills. Bright purple violet aromas mingle with freshly turned soils, and tart crushed berry flesh brushes past a note of graphite. The palate is embued with such intensity. Blackberries and mint play alongside figs and clove. The silken character of old vine Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley is unmistakable in the elegance of this wine. Beautiful.-Clive Pursehouse, Decanter
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.-Eric Guido, Vinous Media
