Soter Vineyards Estates Chardonnay 2022 Review
American Chardonnay is witnessing an evolution, and the epicenter is the Willamette Valley, a place more famous for its relative, Pinot Noir. As more winemakers embrace this grape, a new style, specific to this region, is emerging. These wines all have verve, grip, depth, and refreshment. This bottle from Soter Vineyards is one of the best examples of the state’s signature style. The wine brings aromas of salty bistro butter, oyster shells, and a whisper of herbs on the nose. The mouthfeel has a slight grip around the edges, framing a lush density of fruit. The acidity tickles the senses while keeping the wine in balance. An amazing American Chardonnay.
