• Score: 98 Vintage 2023 Decanter From the shallow soils at the top of the vineyard. An exercise in precision, focus and linearity, with up to 11 months on lees in barrel imparting an exquisite texture that balances a dynamic tension. Aromatics of lemon bee balm, soaring ocean salinity and sweet notions of lemon curd. The palate is energetic and spry – as crushed stone and a rush of sea salt buoy smoky notes of grilled lemon peel and rich Meyer lemon pulp – and hints at clean, fresh ginger piquancy; a masterstroke in winemakng by Jackson Holstein.

• Score: 94 Vintage 2023 The Wine Advocate The 2023 Chardonnay Koosah Vineyard was matured for 11 months in 38% new French oak. It has slowly unfolding aromas of apricot, lemongrass, white tea, candle smoke and beeswax. The light-bodied palate has a silky texture and concentrated, detailed flavors. It’s balanced by taut acidity and has a long, layered finish. It should be long lived in the cellar. 225 cases were made. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
