Martin Woods Chardonnay Koosah 2022

The 2022 Martin Woods 'Koosah' Chardonnay from the Eola-Amity Hills is a standout wine, praised for its bright yellow/silver color and shy stage. It features notes of smoky earth, white peach, lemon oil, and a white floral tone. This medium to full-bodied wine is rich without weight, offering exceptionally focused length. The mid-palate is perfect with acidity and balanced sweetness, leading to a long, fruit-forward and saline-infused finish. The wine is recommended for drinking between 2025 and 2037, with winemaker Evan Martin expressing his admiration for the Koosah site, calling it "the greatest Chardonnay vineyard in the Willamette Valley."
