Walter Scott Koosah Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, USA 2024

A captivating single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Walter Scott, showcasing the energy and elegance of Koosah Vineyard, an organically farmed, high-elevation site on the windswept crest of the Eola-Amity Hills. The 2024 vintage opens with gorgeous aromas of dried rose petals, lavender, incense and crushed blueberries. Silky and refined on the palate, it layers vibrant red and blue fruits with floral nuances, citrus zest and exotic spice, supported by fine-grained tannins and beautifully focused acidity. Fermented with 60% whole clusters, the wine balances aromatic complexity with freshness and structure, finishing long, graceful and full of youthful tension.

"The 2024 Pinot Noir Koosah Vineyard mixes dusty dried roses with incense, lavender pastille and crushed blueberries to form its beguiling bouquet. This is elegant in feel, silken and serene, with ripe red and blue fruits that envelop the senses as nuances of citrus and spice gather toward the close. Violet inner florals resonate over a web of fine-grained tannins as the 2024 tapers off long and youthfully tense. A fantastic vintage for Koosah. This was fermented with 60% whole-cluster fruit."
