WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT NOIR 2022  - BTL $50 BTG $12

- TASTING NOTES:

A beautiful bright ruby color for this expressive wine, with aromas of blueberry, raspberry, orange peel, rose, lavender, black pepper, and morel mushroom. The palate is generous, fresh, and fruity, and the tannins are well balanced by a pleasant acidity: a wine that is alive.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY CHARDONNAY 2022  - BTL $50 BTG $12

- TASTING NOTES:

A wine with a bright golden color and an elegant nose of white flowers, lemon peel, fresh almond, white pepper and vanilla, and a generous palate. The volume in the mouth is highlighted by a nice tension, fruity aromas, and a subtle minerality.

RÉSONANCE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR 2016 - (BTG ONLY $18)

VINTAGE NOTES:

The growing season was especially warm and dry in 2016, giving perfect condition of maturity. The grapes were ripe and flavors well-developed. We began harvesting Pinot noir at the very beginning of September. The maceration revealed a nice concentration and intensity in the wines. These are well-balanced in 2016, with a nice aromatic complexity and harmonious tannin structure.

TASTING NOTES:

The dark and bright color of this wine is a perfect illustration of the immense character of Résonance Vineyard. With an intense and subtle nose of black cherries, wild blueberries and blackberries, cloves, noble wood and violet flagrance, the wine express an impressive depth and concentration, and full potentiel and well balanced structure.

ABOUT résonance wines:

“With Résonance Vineyard, we realized Willamette Valley is to the New World what Burgundy is to the Old World. There is a feeling, a spirit, an energy – a ‘somewhereness’ that tells us this place can produce expressive single-vineyard Pinot Noir wines with an identity and personality.” – Pierre-Henry Gagey, President of Maison Louis Jadot
