Walter Scott, Pinot Noir Koosah Vineyard, 2023

$93.00

Walter Scott is a small Willamette Valley winery focused on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir shaped by vineyard character, restrained winemaking, and the cool-climate conditions of western Oregon. Koosah Vineyard, located in the Eola-Amity Hills, is influenced by volcanic soils and the cooling winds of the Van Duzer Corridor, conditions that produce Pinot Noir with freshness, structure, and aromatic precision. Farmed sustainably and produced with a restrained, low-intervention approach, the wine reflects both the energy of the site and Walter Scott’s finely detailed style.

The 2023 vintage is vibrant and layered, offering notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, blood orange, rose petal, and crushed herbs alongside subtle earth and spice. The palate is focused and energetic, balancing bright acidity with silky tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. Elegant yet structured, the wine captures the tension and lifted red-fruited character that define top Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity Hills.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Fresh, mineral-driven, and finely structured
