A partnership between acclaimed Soter Vineyards and Willamette valley wine grower, James Cahill and marketing expert Brian Sypher, this wine is a blend of Pinot Noir from 5 specific vineyard sites located in what many consider the concentration of the finest vineyards in Willamette Valley, namely the North Valley. Sub-appellations of within the North Valley include Dundee Hills, Ribbon Ridge, Yamhill-Carlton and Eola-Amity Hills. This wine is a beautiful expression of the character this region has to offer. Notes of concentrated black cherry and blackberry are delivered in a velvet envelope of vanilla cream. On the palate, the structure is firm, but generous, offering a broad canvas of tart fruit, dark turned earth and lingering tannin.
