Résonance Pinot Noir 2021
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesThe Résonance pinot, sourced from both the estate and other top-rated sites in the Willamette Valley, is a testament to the expertise of Maison Louis Jadot, the property owner. The winemaking process, which combines French techniques and the Willamette Valley terroir, has resulted in a truly outstanding wine. The warm and dry year of 2021 produced ripe, clean fruit with intense colour. The wine offers an earthy, savoury mix of wild strawberry, mulberry, and floral-scented fruit, followed by medium-weight black cherry and cranberry fruit flavours, a touch of heat and bitterness, and a long, mineral finish. The wine, which spends 15 months in 30 percent new French oak, is a testament to the expertise of Résonance winemaker Guillaume Large, who worked for over a decade with the famed (and mad scientist) Jacques Lardière, chief winemaker and legend at Louis Jadot.Tasted: 01 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $73.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
