2005 Soter Beacon Hill Yamhill-Carlton District Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.7% alc., $48.
·
Hi-tone red cherry fruit of great purity in the
aromatics with a hint of red licorice. Lovely and understated arsenal of cherry
fruit, a suave texture and brisk acidity on the finish. A sophisticated wine of
great breeding. Still some unresolved tannins - give it 6-12 months to soften.
Tres Pinot.
