Soter Vineyards Estates Pinot Noir 2024 Review

Tony Soter made a name for himself in the 1970s in Napa Valley. After over two decades of giving his skills to Golden State vineyards, it was time to return to Oregon’s Willamette Valley to make wines in his home state. And we are better for it. This Pinot takes a minute to open up, but eventually rewards you with savory notes of olives, black tea, and pine trees, all encapsulated by juicy red fruit. The oak is well integrated, and the acidity is ample but not overpowering.
