Can't say enough good things about this wine - one of the real thrills of the vintage. We expect Resonance to shine. Phelps Creek is automatic. To have this vineyard step up to that level of quality is very exciting. Located at fairly high elevation in the Hood River Valley, 1600 feet, the grapes are able to retain higher natural acidity. The higher acidity gives the wine brightness in its youth and a better ability to age gracefully. That and great concentration of fruit (from 1.5 ton per acre crop sizing) have produced a delicious wine.

- Dark cherry and ripe blueberry notes seamlessly fuse with rich tobacco tones and a distinctive underlining minerality. Fine, integrated tannins provide backbone to an opulent, seductive structure designed for years of development. Imagine pairing with wild game and seasonal mushrooms foraged from the surrounding forests.
