This is a planet you want to live on. The wine's rich raspberry-jam and lilac aromas make a perfect foil for a meaty note similar to seared steak. Blueberry and candied-rose-petal flavors are joined by an interesting wood note that may conjure up childhood memories of building toy rafts with popsicle sticks.
 
91 Points James Suckling
This fresh, tangy and nicely concentrated wine is alive with black cherries, sour cherries, orange zest, hints of cloves and pine. Aged in neutral barrels, its medium body and moderate tannins give a great, snappy texture. Certified sustainable.
 
90 Points Wine Spectator
A young, snappy Pinot, featuring vibrant cherry and pomegranate flavors highlighted by black tea and dusky spices. Finishes with zesty tannins. Drink now through 2032.
 
Winemaker Notes
Soter's value label delivers the goods once again. The 2022 vintage was spectacular in the Willamette Valley, as reflected in this dense, supple and flat-out delicious wine. The aromatics captivate with chocolate and fresh berry scents; the smooth, rich palate brings those flavors along with orange peel. pie cherries and sweet toast.
