The 2022 Napa Valley Koshu is the second vintage of Koshu to be released by Kazumi Wines. We are excited since we were able to produce three times the amount of the first vintage. On the nose, this wine has notes of yuzu, grapefruit, a hint of flint and white lilies. The palate reflects the nose with notes of yuzu, lime, lychee and some minerality. There’s an interesting note of salinity and umami which makes this wine a perfect match for seafood and Japanese cuisine. This umami character enhances Japanese flavors, even soy sauce and miso which are often difficult to pair with wine. This wine has a mouthwatering acidity that makes you want to keep going back for another sip with or without food.
