Soter Vineyards
Mineral Springs Ranch Pinot Noir
Yamhill-Carlton, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
I’m not sure Delectable knows which wine this is- 2010 MSR white label; a small low yield “crown of the hill” parcel of the estate. Been saving this guy and holy mother of god did it reward. I venture a guess that at 8 years old it could be in its “prime” window but it absolutely could go another decade. This wine made me a little sad that we might not get another cold vintage in Oregon. It was so stunning and so pure it took my breath away. Not an understatement in any way.

Feb 17th, 2018Great powerful earthy pinot. Had it 'against' the Hobbs Kathryn Lindsay Pinot which had a beautiful nose but a little excessively acidic in the taste. Soter was nicely balanced and grounded. Wonderful.
