Tasting notes
The 2013 Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir is drinking beautifully at this age, with a lovely nose of mushroom, cinnamon, potpourri, licorice and earth with loads of floral nuances and a core of black and red berries. Medium-bodied and silky, it's just about even with its fruit and tertiary flavors, finely grained, fresh and finishing long. Beautiful. Winemaker Guillaume Large says there was a big storm just before harvest in 2013. "Jacques Lardière saw the forecast coming, and having seen vintages like that in Burgundy, he knew we shouldn't wait. We picked two hours before the storm hit and were able to get all the fruit in before the rain. It didn't stop raining again for 10 days."

(50 percent new oak) Bright red. High-pitched red currant, cherry and dried rose scents are complemented by hints of sassafras and musky underbrush. Shows very good energy and cut to the juicy red berry and floral pastille flavors, which are given a bitter edge by a jolt of blood orange. Closes taut, subtly sweet and quite long; fine-grained tannins add grip to the vibrant red fruit.
