Résonance Chardonnay 2020

Aromas of lemon and graham cracker might make the brain think a lovely lemon tart is on its way. Floating in the background are whiffs of mint and white lilacs. While the wine’s crisp mouthfeel and elevated acidity suggest a sip from an icy stream, the flavors of spearmint, pistachio gelato and caramelized peaches are anything but watery. This is quite a value, made with fruit from a variety of Willamette Valley vineyards, including two Résonance estate vineyards. Score – 91. (Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 1, 2022)
