2005 Soter Pinot Noir Mineral Springs - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Yamhill-Carlton (1/15/2011)
Beautiful ruby red. No decant , but it would have benefited from one. Reticent, but expressive nose of crushed flowers and some light raspberry. Strong, pure fruit which stands up to, but eventually recedes to the structural frame on this one. A bottle of wine to contemplate and consider as you drink in the tart cherry and damp earth and consider the rainier cherry finish on the long, expressive finish.
Wish this was my bottle and wish I had a bunch! (93 pts.)
