SOTER, YAMHILL-CARLTON DISTRICT, MINERAL SPRINGS RANCH, PINOT NOIR 2012
95 points Wine Spectator
Vibrant, expressive and multi layered, offering black cherry, red plum, sassafras and dead leaf flavors on a long and silky frame. The tannins are submerged, allowing the gorgeous flavors to float through the finish. Drink now through 2022. *Highly Recommended* (HS) (11/2014)
93 points Vinous
Brilliant red. Highly energetic, spice-laced dark berry, cherry cola and potpourri aromas pick up a smoky nuance as the wine opens up. Sweet, broad and subtly spicy in the mouth, offering concentrated blackberry and cherry compote flavors and hints of musky rhubarb and succulent herbs. The powerful, clinging finish is framed by smooth, sneaky tannins and leaves notes of ripe blackberry and candied flowers behind. (JR) (12/2016)
92 points Wine Advocate
The 2012 Pinot Noir Mineral Springs Vineyard includes 30% whole-cluster fruit and is aged in 45% new French oak. The nose is nicely focused with a mixture of red and black fruit, subtle sous-bois scents and later, just a touch of licorice. The palate is medium-bodied with well-judged acidity, clean dark berry fruit tinged with cola and spice, leading to an elegant and focused finish. This is very fine: a sophisticated Pinot Noir to enjoy over the next decade. (NM)(3/2015)
