From the Yamhill-Carlton district of Willamette Valley, Soter’s Mineral Springs Pinot Noir is among their best sites and the 2005 vintage was the inaugural release of the label. Elegant aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant and the faintest top note of Market Spice Tea, dried rose petals and incense. The frame is quite spare and lean, communicating purity of fruit stony minerality. This, underpinned by layers of fine-grain tannins, black fruit, and floral tones, leaving the impression of delicacy and power.
