Soter Vineyards Mineral Springs Ranch Pinot Noir 2021
The 2021 MSR Pinot Noir is the epitome of potential. It boasts an impressive structure, firm, grippy tannins linked by vibrant acidity. It has a core of dense red fruit comingled with notes of soft herbs and a subtle hint of cola spice. It’s evident the full spectrum of this wine will unfold gradually rather than all at once.

| Detailed and finely focused, this refined red offers expressive raspberry and guava flavors laced with mineral, forest floor and black tea tones as this builds tension and richness toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 2,400 cases made. |

| The 2021 Pinot Noir Mineral Springs Ranch takes some time to shake off brown sugar and baking spice on the nose and reveal stewed strawberry and raspberry, damp earth and dried herbs. The light-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with an understated core of fruit and a spicy finish. |
