Wine Reviews

Keenly structured and appealingly Old World, with cherry and raspberry flavors layered with forest floor, crushed stone and black tea accents. Ends with refined tannins.

The 2023 Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from own-rooted, dry-farmed vines planted in 1981, 1983 and 1987. Matured for 18 months in 30% new French oak, it has nuanced aromas of blackberry, pomegranate, oolong tea, lilac and graphite, revealing additional details with each return to the glass. The medium-bodied palate is powerfully styled with concentrated, layered flavors. It’s framed by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, mineral-laced finish. It will benefit from time in the cellar. 820 cases were made.

The 2021 Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir has broody aromas of pomegranate, black cherry, iodine, forest floor and amaro. Despite its concentrated, floral flavors, it has an elegant structure of silky tannins and vibrant acidity and a very long, nuanced finish.

Its aromas unfurl slowly, segueing from cranberry sauce, rhubarb and aniseed to mushrooms, autumn leaves and wildflowers. The light-bodied palate features concentrated yet detailed flavors. It has a tea-like astringency, vibrant acidity and a long, dynamic finish.

This pure and elegant wine is irresistible for its ripe red fruit, smooth texture and lingering, lacy finish… it is medium-bodied, silky and luxurious to sip. Strawberries, raspberries and sweet cherries on the palate, with accents of spearmint and cinnamon.
