Dark cherry, spiced plum, cranberry and toasty oak. Delightful now and over the next 4 years.

A warm day for Weighty pinots like these but I like this style and 2012 is my kind of Oregon vintage. Very well crafted, obvs

Deep concentrated color with decent acidity. Ripe plums. Has a bit of earth and herbal end note.

Nice fruit & acidity. Likely pairs well with cheese plate.

Delicious Pinot. Deep, berry, tobacco, not too much pepper/spice. Thanks BK!

I love the 2012s and really like Soter wines but this one is a little one dimensional. Nice and easy. No tannin. Lots of big ripe fruit. But not a lot of complexity. Potentially poor storing by me.
