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

2022 vintage. Medium/medium heavy body. Some old school notes. Some new school familiarities. Some detention memories. There's a darkness (of fruit) on the edge of town. Enduring legacy. A style she's trying to maintain. Nicely made and hard to say no. 4.15.26.

Strong strawberry taste with lingering finish. Very unique for a Pinot.

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

Soter Vineyards ‘North Valley’ Reserve Pinot Noir 2017: Medium-bodied. Great balanced structure. Deep ruby color with red fruit dominate flavors (raspberry, strawberry, cherry). Vanilla. Spice. Oak. Earth. Nice medium acidity; smooth reserve/refined finish. Enjoyable with it without food. Great day to all! Cheers🍷

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