Resonance Chardonnay Hyland Vineyard 2018 (750ML)

93 Points, Josh Raynolds, VInous: "Limpid straw-yellow. Mineral-accented nectarine, orange, honey and jasmine on the intensely perfumed nose. Smooth, fleshy and energetic in the mouth, offering juicy orchard and pit fruit flavors complemented by fennel, sweet butter and vanilla flourishes. Shows impressive depth as well as energy and finishes minerally and very long, with lingering citrus and pit fruit notes. 20% new oak." 09/20

91+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "The 2018 Chardonnay “Hyland Vineyard” bottling from Jacques Lardière at Résonance is a lovely young example of the vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a blend of lemon, pear, salty soil tones, a touch of raw almond, citrus zest and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a lovely core of fruit, fine mineral drive and bounce, zesty acids and fine focus and grip on the long and complex finish. This is a fine bottle in the making, but it is still fairly tightly-knit and I would be inclined to tuck it away in the cellar for a few years and let it blossom properly. Good juice. (Drink between 2022-2040)" #90 11/20
