Eric Guido writes: The 2022 Chardonnay Willamette Valley impresses with its fruit-forward yet beautifully balanced personality, blending yellow apples with chamomile, ginger and hints of white smoke. This is soothingly round with a balance of saline minerals and ripe pears, all guided by brisk acidity. It finishes with admirable length and gentle tension, leaving minty herbal tones to linger on. Drinking 2024 to 2029. - Vinous 91
Erin Brooks writes: The 2022 Chardonnay Willamette Valley, which contains fruit from vineyards across the appellation, including Koosah, Découverte and Witness Tree, is tense and shimmery. It's scented of yellow apples, lemon peel, bread dough, cashews and beeswax. The light-bodied palate balances concentrated, nutty fruit with vibrant acidity, and it has a long, silky finish. Drinking 2024 to 2034. - Robert Parker Wine Advocate 91
Clive Pursehouse writes: A core of lemon driven intensity the Résonance Willamette Valley bottlings are nearly as impressive as the single vineyard designates. This wine is a combination of the estate vineyards and some of the Willamette Valley's top sites. Aromas of sweet Meyer lemon blossom, fragrant gardenias, and smoky grilled lemon peel. The palate showcases a real vibrance of fruit, early season stone fruits, lemon curd and bright mineral elements. Crisp acidity yet richly balanced. Drinking 2024 to 2034. - Decanter 93
James Suckling writes: A structured, golden apple-scented wine with hints of toasted almonds, light toast and subtle caramel. Well-balanced, rounded and composed. Drink now. - James Suckling 92
Audrey Frick writes: A pale straw/silver color, the 2022 Chardonnay Willamette Valley offers notes of lemon pith, lime oils, delicate smoke, and savory melon rind. Medium-bodied, it offers a kiss of sweet fruit, with delicate baking spice and a clean finish. It’s a charming wine to enjoy over the next few years. Drinking 2024 to 2027. - Jeb Dunnuck
