Nose: spicy, fire-pit, raspberry, mulberry, tree bark, a fruitiness comes through over time. Taste: astringent tannins, spice, pepper. Fire and earth.

Fruit was present but not over bearing, very balanced wine. Leather, tobacco and dried cherries on the palate with a little spice at the end. Nice mouthfeel. Finish could have been a little longer.

Soter is the best US pinot. Had the 2008 and 2009 at dinner. 08 has more musty earthy tones. Beautifully balanced. Truly great. 09 is a little brighter and little more acidic but with time open it darkened and integrated more. More floral v earthy with a sense of licorice. Also a wonderful wine but needs to air a bit more or age
