Resonance Willamette Valley Chardonnay, Oregon, USA 2023 Domaine Ratte The shape of this “bowl”The 2023 Chardonnay Willamette Valley, made entirely from estate fruit for the first time this vintage, was matured for 16 months in 20% new French oak. It has nuanced aromas of matchstick, white fruit, Meyer lemon, meringue and citrus blossoms. The light bodied palate is elegantly styled with a silky texture, creamy citrus flavors, vibrant acidity and a long, energetic finish. 93 Pts Wine Advocate
