About Soter Vineyards
Tony Soter made his name with Cabernet Sauvignon in California at Spottswoode, as well as with his own Etude label. But to show he was serious about Oregon Pinot Noir, he relocated to the Willamette Valley. The time and energy he's devoted to the vineyard is evident in his intensely fruity, layered Pinots that do not sacrifice balance or focus for power.

($20) Bright pink. Strawberry, raspberry and white flowers on the nose. Midweight red fruit flavors are firmed by juicy acidity and given lift by tangy minerals. Finishes with very good cling and sneaky mineral persistence. I found it nearly impossible to stop drinking this intriguing wine, which is 95% pinot noir and the rest gewurztraminer and riesling.
