Soter Vineyards "Mineral Springs" Pinot noir 05 |

Wine Spectator 92 points
"There's a gentle firmness to the texture, with fine tannins
underlying focused black cherry and ripe currant fruit
that lingers beautifully against leafy notes on the nicely
balanced finish. Has integrity and impressive length. Best
from 2009 through 2013." -H.S. Notes of blackberry, black cherries, white pepper, floral notes that recall freesias and roses, and a distinctively exotic personality. We think these wines will tend to be sappy and fruit-driven, with seamless balance. - the winery Inaugural release of Pinot from the new Estate Vineyard of Soter. The site of Mineral Springs, located east of the town of Carlton, is a source of great excitement to us. This is the home base of operations for Soter Vineyards; it is the site of our prize vineyard, winery, tasting lodge, and eventually the Soter home. In short, it is the entire domaine. Planted to 30 acres of Pinot Noir, this beautiful ridgetop just east of the town of Carlton has commanding views of the valley, with mature stands of oak trees and Douglas firs lining the road. Beginning in 2005, the vineyard is producing nicely distinctive fruit. |
