WTN: Only one--Resonance

by Hoke » Mon Apr 06, 2009 8:26 pm

Resonance Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton District, 2006, to be precise.

Only $49 on a Medford wine list, so not badly priced.

Silky textured, with deep, deep, deep black cherry, but not obnoxiously over-oaked or rigged up, and a superb match with a Creole Mustard Sauced Fresh Alaska halibut and some veal escallopes in a sort of forestiere sauce (but with kalamata oives!). Lovely light perfume, with perhaps a touch of raspberry, but then the cherry, cola, and clove assert themselves. Very, very nicely done and a pleasure of a dinner wine.

Wazzat?

At's Zats!

I don't think this one came out of zat jar, Chef. :)

Actually was a nicely done sauce, clearly Creole, but more on the French mode than the Coonass, as befitted the fish.
