2022 Soter Estates Pinot Noir
This Pinot Noir is sourced from three different vineyards: 30% Tarren Vineyards, Eola-Amity Hills, 50% Ribbon Ridge Vineyard and 20% Mineral Springs Vineyard, Yamhill-Carlton, certified biodynamic.
The 2022 Soter Estates Pinot Noir is derived from organically farmed estate vineyards. This wine captures the spirit of place, revealing both the beauty of its fruit and the depth imparted by its ancient sedimentary soils. The dark garnet hue opens to a vivid floral bouquet of warm mixed berries intertwined with subtle earthy notes. The fruit in this medium-bodied wine is noticeably plush offering elements of black raspberry, baked blueberry, toasted spices and damp earth along with a dusting of cocoa powder. The delicate vein of delicate acidity carries this wine to a long and lingering finish.
