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.

The palate is concentrated with rich dried red berry flavours, piquant chicory root spice, and an extended lingering savoury depth. Delicious.Decanter | 93 DECAromas 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. Drink now or hold.James Suckling | 93 JSA 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.Vinous Media | 92+ VMThe 2022 “Willamette Valley” bottling of pinot noir from Résonance Vineyards is an excellent young wine. It comes in at 13.5 percent alcohol in this vintage and delivers a bright and complex aromatic constellation of red and black cherries, a nice touch of beetroot, gamebird, dark soil tones, woodsmoke, a nice dollop of sweet stem tones and cedary oak. On the palate the wine is bright, ripe and full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit, fine soil inflection, tangy acids, buried, seamless tannins and fine focus and grip on the long, poised and beautifully balanced, complex finish. This is lovely juice, but give it some time to soften up in the cellar. (Drink between 2030 - 2075)John Gilman | 92+ JGRuby 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.Jeb Dunnuck | 90 JD
