Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

Owned by top Burgundy producer Louis Jadot this, the 2013 vintage, is their debut bottling and very impressive it is.

Richly textured yet with commendable finesse and focused minerality. Very much in the top flight of Oregon Pinot Noir, with the ability to further improve for another 5 – 8 years.

Résonance Vineyard is situated in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, which is located within Oregon’s Willamette Valley, just west of Carlton at the foothills of the Coast Range. It is a 13ha property, with 8 ha of vineyard planted with Pinot Noir. The vineyard sits on a convex portion of a low, west-east oriented ridge emerging out of the Coast Range, at an altitude of 80 to 150 meters above sea level. Soils are primarily Willakenzie (old sedimentary deposits) and Yamhill (ancient submarine basaltic soil).
