Expert Reviews- Vintage 2023
The Wine Advocate 92 Points | For the first time, the 2023 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley from Résonance is made entirely from estate fruit. Matured for 17 months in 30% new French oak, it has pure scents of pomegranate, burnt orange peel, pepper, mossy bark and mushrooms. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled with layers of earth-laced fruit and seamless oak integration. It’s framed by velvety tannins and bright acidity and has a long, layered finish.
The Wine Spectator 92 Points | An elegantly structured red, with vibrant cherry and pomegranate flavors laced with black tea and forest floor tones that build tension toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2033.
James Suckling 92 Points | The French-owned winery’s most widely available pinot noir is fragrant in rose petals, cedar and potpourri, then delicious black and blue fruit flavors on a medium body. Moderate tannins and a cool, balanced texture carry the flavors to a lingering finish.

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.
Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2022
"Fragrant raspberry and fresh violet aromas lead to elegantly layered cherry, mineral and savory tea flavors, with a silky mouthfeel that slowly builds tension on the polished finish."
Tim Fish, Senior Editor - Wine Spectator - 94 Points
"Aromas rich in savory, woodsy and spicy notes lead to vibrant black cherries, grilled plums, mushrooms, star anise and a touch of black pepper. Distinctive for a broad Willamette Valley bottling, this is lively and medium-bodied."
James Suckling - 93 points
"A pretty blend of steeped plums and violet flowers introduces the 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley. This is cool-toned and classic in feel, with ripe red and blue fruits that flow across textures of pure silk, leaving a tinge of sweet spice toward the close. An air of lavender lingers along with ripe blackberries and hints of sage as the 2022 tapers off with stunning length and gentle tannins. This is a wonderfully harmonious effort that will reward cellaring."
Eric Guido - Vinous Media - 92 Points
"Ruby red-hued, the 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley has a very appealing nose with notes of ripe cherries, wild herbs, sassafras, and fresh flowers. Approachable and medium-bodied, it offers ripe, defined tannins, stemmy spice on the palate, and ripe acidity. It’s a charming wine with a stemmy texture to drink over the next 4-5 years."
