REVIEWS

The following are a few accolades generated recently for wines made from Resonance (Reed & Reynolds) Vineyard fruit:

94 Wine Spectator, May 15, 2005, 2003 Sineann Resonance Vineyard Pinot Noir: "Ripe, round and seductive. Fleshy, with currant, plum and blackberry flavors shaded with hints of sweet, exotic spice, lingering effortlessly on the incredibly long, elegant finish. Drink now through 2015. 506 cases made. -H.S.."

Lemelson Pinot Noir "Resonance" 2004, July 2006 Oregon Pinot Noir Club:
"The Resonance Vineyard has developed into one of the finest in Oregon wine country. Farmed biodynamically, it has been the fruit of choice for awesome single-vineyard bottlings from a handful of Oregon's elite producers. This new version from Lemelson may be the finest bottling from the Resonance Vineyard that I've ever tried. It's got some dark red fruits at the remarkably concentrated center, which is then enveloped in the fresh, dense blue and black fruit flavors that are more lush and forward now. Hints of wood, wild berries and more are all contrasted against a finish of melted minerals. Really, you have to taste this on the second day to appreciate the amazing texture. One of the deepest, richest bottles of Resonance I've tried from any producer."

93 Wine Enthusiast, May 2006, Lemelson 2003 Resonance Vineyard Pinot Noir: "This biodynamically farmed vineyard gives great fruit. Here it is detailed with the full range of floral aromas, candied red fruits, hints of cinnamon and plenty of balancing tannins. Just the right touch with the new oak, too. Lemelson really nails it in 2003."

91 Wine Enthusiast On-Line, 2005 Sineann Resonance Vineyard Pinot Noir:
Biodynamically-farmed grapes seem to provide an extra layer of texture, as the layers of ripe strawberry and cherry fruit spread across the palate. It hints at toast, espresso and cola, while retaining its supple grace.

90 Going Green in Oregon and Washington, by Patrick Comiskey: 2005 Sineann Resonance Vineyard Pinot Noir: This wine is a fresh as a bowl of summer cherries in the glass, with a brightness and vibrancy that carries through to the palate. Texturally, it’s fresh and broad, texturally lifted and bright.

90 Stephen Tanzers International Wine Cellar, May/June 2006, Lemelson 2003 Resonance Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Deep red. Deep, chocolate-tinged cherry and dark berry aromas, with an exotic note of anise. Quite sweet and lush, with flavors of cherry preserve, singed strawberry and spicy oak. This gains sweetness and brightness with air, the red berry flavors standing up to the strong spicy character. Silky, impressively sweet and long. “
 

93 Wine Enthusiast, May 2006, Sineann 2004 Resonance Vineyard Pinot Noir:
“This biodynamically farmed vineyard delivers stunning, elegant, textured Pinot. Layer upon layer upon layer develops in the mouth, from the ripe strawberry/cherry fruit, masterfully speckled with toast, espresso and cola notes. The mouthfeel is silky and supple, and this lovely wine lives up to its name with an innate resonance that lingers gracefully in the mouth. “

Wine Spectator, May 15, 2006, Peter Rosback covers the map of Oregon and Washington, but the jewel in the crown is the Resonance Vineyard bottling, from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA.

91 Wine Spectator, May 15, 2006, Sineann 2004 Resonance Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Has a rawness to the texture and a youthful grapiness to the flavors that need time to soften, but the core has gentle currant and spicy oak flavors that come together on the finish and linger softly. The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Best after 2007.”

Gold Medal and Top 100 Wines of 2004 at 2004 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition 2002 Lemelson Resonance Pinot Noir: "Fruit-forward style, rich and concentrated with blueberry, strawberry jam, cassis, cedar and hints of baking spice. Creamy vanilla finish."

90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, 2002 Lemelson Resonance Pinot Noir: "Bright ruby. Lifted, expressive aromas of sandalwood, spice cake, red berries and wintermint. Elegant and emphatically red-fruited with juicy flavors of strawberry, bright raspberry and mint, lifted by a floral note. Finishes long, spicy and complete, with red currant and pomegranante flavors."
