98 Points, James Suckling
“The tension and linearity of this wine are incredible, as fresh, vivid fruit flavors ride an electric wave of bracing acidity from the first whiff to the long, lingering finish. Layers of haunting mushroom, iron and bay leaf nuances meet cranberries, sour cherries, rhubarb and black tea flavors that linger and echo after the last sip. An impeccable wine for drinking now through at least 2032.”
Soter Vineyard Pinot Noir Mineral Springs Ranch 2022
#1 Highest Rated Oregon Pinot Noir of 2022 Vintage (98 Pts, James Suckling)
For my palate, the Pinot Noirs that Tony Soter makes off Mineral Springs Ranch Vineyard in the Willamette Valley is always one of the very best representations of Oregon winemaking. Period. It’s perennially scored towards the top of all Oregon Pinots, and offers such a wonderfully distinct and pure expression of whole cluster Pinot Noir. This is a magical vineyard and in my opinion the 2022 is quintessential age-worthy Oregon Pinot. This one has earth and spice to match sweet cherry and floral notes. It’s a beautiful Pinot in its youth that with time in the glass begins to unravel all kinds of intricate and more elegant notes. It’s a showstopper with 20-25 years of premium aging ahead of it. Not to be missed!

MORE INFO
Tony Soter gained recognition as the founder of Etude Wines, and consultant to luminaries such as Araujo, Shafer, Spottswoode, and Dalla Valle. He has demonstrated a genius for crafting award-winning wines over his four decades of innovative wine growing.
Eventually in the late 1980’s his curiosity of Oregon’s buzzing winemaking drew him away from his cushy California lifestyle making some of the best Cabernet Sauvignons in the world and opted instead to try his hand in Oregon’s wild, wild, west with the help of his scientist wife, Michelle.
Michelle is an expert in environmentalism, organics, biodynamics and nutrition, which has made Mineral Springs Ranch a special destination in the Pacific Northwest. After years of diligence, Tony and Michelle accomplished their ultimate goal in 2013: converting their 250-acre property into a certified biodynamic farm and haven for growing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
