Résonance Vineyard
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
The outfit from Louis Jadot in Oregon. The first vintage was brilliant. This not so much. I reviewed this before. Age made no difference lacks stuffing and and even at 28$ not recommended. Dark fruit hint blackberry. touch bitter. I have not gone back to any newer vintages a real disappointment.

Faint whiff of cardamom and mint. Fantastic tannin management. More big than elegant. Long and complex. For the money a really good wine. Days later on my Argon line even better.

First tasting of an Oregon PN. I can't say if this one is characteristic or not, one thing is for sure, we are far from our taste landmarks such as burgundy Sancerres etc. Very focussed on black fruits, pepper, intense vegetable notes, a freshness still marked even after 6 years, the tannins are still firm even today. All the sliders seem pushed and would recall some Languedoc wines by its prominent yet balanced profile. The finish is remarkable. An intense lively and half-bodied wine, although a little expensive to my taste.
Première dégustation d’un PN d’Oregon. Je ne saurais dire si celui-ci est caractéristique ou non, une chose est sur, on est loin de nos repères gustatifs type bourgeonne Sancerres etc. Très porté sur les fruits noirs, le poivre, des notes végétales intenses, une fraîcheur encore marquée même après 6 ans, les tanins sont fermes même encore aujourd’hui. Tous les curseurs semblent poussés et rappellerait certains vins du Languedoc par son profil proéminent quoique équilibré. La finale est remarquable. Un vin vif et demi-corsé intense, quoiqu’un peu cher à mon goût.

Renaissance is Maison Louis Jadot’s first wine project outside of Burgundy since 1859.

Subtle raspberry, black fruit, & herbal flavors. High acidity, mineral finish.
