The 2021 Chardonnay Koosah Vineyard?the first iteration of this single-vineyard wine from Walter Scott?is already impressive from tank. Youthful hints of matchstick give way to intense aromas of white peach jasmine spring butter and crushed almonds. The medium-bodied palate balances layers of perfumed fruit with electric acidity and its satiny mouth-coating texture drives a very long finish. This Chardonnay offers an intoxicating combination of power and energy and I can't wait to see how it performs from bottle.
Coming from this exceptional vineyard site, which was recently purchased by the Jadot family, the 2021 Chardonnay Koosah Vineyard displays a bright yellow hue and strikes that fine chord between weight and weightlessness. In the glass, it reveals more pronounced and forward aromatics on opening, with flinty wet asphalt, preserved lemon, peach, and elegant baking spice. The palate is supple and rounded, taking on more citrus oils and a lush texture, with savory notes of pine and rocky earth. Long on the palate, its great balance and fantastic energy propel it for days, and it should have tremendous longevity. Drink 2024-2036.
