RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Intense red and blue fruit, floral and spice qualities on the fragrant nose, along with hints of succulent flowers and musky earth. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry, mulberry and cherry flavors sweetened by a vanilla flourish. Smooth tannins build slowly, adding shape to a very long, smoke- and spice-laced finish.

92The Wine Advocate

...features crushed blueberries, boysenberries and blackberries on the nose with notes of red berries, cinnamon, dried leaves and flowers...medium-bodied palate is intense and firm with a grainy frame and good freshness, finishing long and fragrant.

92Wine Spectator

Offers a sinewy beam of minerally acidity and lively tannins, framed by black cherry and forest floor accents that build tension toward a tight ending.

92Wine Enthusiast

Lovely aromas of blackberries, along with hints of pepper and smoke, lead into a tasty wine with even more berries and plums...got a streak of roasted coffee, and further highlights of Dr Pepper, buoyed with ample acidity.

PRODUCER

Resonance Vineyard

Resonance Vineyard is a 20-acre vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA now owned by one of Burgundy’s most illustrious domaines, Maison Louis Jadot. The Oregon vineyard was first planted to Pinot Noir in 1981 by Kevin and Carla Chambers, owners of an Oregon vineyard management and development company. For nearly 20 years the couple sold their grapes from Resonance to other wineries, and along the way they achieved biodynamic certification. Starting in 2006, however, the Chambers began making their own wine with some of their Resonance Vineyard grapes. In 2013 the vineyard was purchased by Maison Louis Jadot, one of Burgundy’s most storied producers. It was the first time the Louis Jadot had purchased vineyards outside of Burgundy, and the maison sent Jacques Lardière, their legendary winemaker who was at that time retired, to oversee cultivation, vinification and aging of the wines. In reviewing one of the 2014 vintages, Wine Advocate noted that “Jacques Lardière, the eternal retiree, has crafted another delicious Pinot Noir that is going to win a lot of fans.” The estate makes Pinot Noir and white wines.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Yamhill-Carlton

Yamhill-Carlton AVA is located in Yamhill and Washington Counties, and it is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon’s most prestigious wine producing region. It has 1,200 vineyard acres and was awarded AVA status in 2004. The region grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Muscat, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Ken Wright Cellars, Elk Cove Vineyards and WillaKenzie Estate are among the district’s best-known producers. All focus on Pinot Noir.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
