This was the penultimate vintage from the Resonance vineyard by Sineann. The cool 2011 vintage seemed to merge well with this warm site: after about 10 years, there are cherries, raspberries, sandalwood, cinnamon and cloves on the nose and the medium bodied palate. Tannins help lift the wine, and there is a purity to the fruit and great balance that make it memorable. It almost had a liqueur type texture. Very impressive, and just starting to come into the zone. It should last many years - no hurry (A-).

Medium red-purple with some sediment. A little time in glass, deep plum and ripe cherry. Some strong vanilla and whiff of oak. Very pleasant but not complex.

(Sineann Pinot Noir Resonance Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton) A moderately aromatic wine with notes of smoke, spice, tar, chocolate and dark cherry. The palate is tart and medium-plus bodied with abundant mesquite, cherry, and cedar flavors supported by black tea tannins andmouthwatering acidity that lead to a spice filled finish. 100% Pinot Noir. 13.8% alcohol. 475 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

Much brighter than '10 Oregon; Fresh but not as distinctive
