  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.

  - 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.

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

  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.

  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.
