May 17, 2018 - Soter Tasting with James Cahill (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Popped and poured. Wonderful aromas of ripe black cherry with sweet spice, nicely matured. Good flavors, slightly less exciting and balanced vs the nose. Still a good combination of freshness and earth, just with a slightly tannic finish. My last bottle from a case purchased from the winery at release, this bottle was better vs my previous bottle opened one year ago.

March 16, 2017 - - Crimsom color. It's balanced with a medium/full body. Linear texture with a medium finish - I never expected a 15 year old Oregon Pinot to last like this. Still full of fruit, good finish. Wish I had more than this last bottle.

January 7, 2017 - Fully mature black fruit, good concentration. Best when popped and poured, less interesting an hour later.

January 21, 2016 - Mature black and blue berry aromas and flavors with some umami, cooked mushroom character. Still a trace of pronounced new oak spice. Still drinking nicely, but time to drink up.

May 1, 2015 - I'm not sure what the oak treatment was, but this has a toasty, spice driven nose. Color is quite crimson and vibrant. Dark fruit palate, smooth and sweet and delicious. Repeat toast, spice, and cinnamon finish which is a little too much as it seems to hide the purity of the fruit.
