(4/28/2025) Koosah Chardonnay comes from the top of the vineyard, where some of the shallowest soils sit. sur lie elevage for up to 11 months in barrel impart an exquisite texture that balances a dynamic tension, a masterstroke in winemakng by Jackson Holstein.. An exercise in precision, focus and linerality. The aromatics open to lemon bee balm, soaring ocean salinity and sweet notions of lemon curd. That palate is energetic and spry, as crushed stone and and a rush of sea salt buoy smoky notes of grilled lemon peel, rich Meyer lemon pulp and hints at clean, fresh peeled ginger root piquancy. This is a brilliant Chardonnay continuing to make a strong case the the Eola-Hills appellation is America's top Chardonnay region. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2040.
