Soter Vineyards 2009 Pinot Noir 2005 Brut Rose

Soter’s SPARKLING WINES are beautiful wines that happen to effervesce and exude the fullness and flavor intensity that bring to mind the finest small-house or "grower" Champagnes. Over the past 30 years, Tony Soter has pursued many winegrowing challenges, but few have been as demanding and rewarding as the production of his traditional, handmade sparkling wines.

Soter’s Pinots are sourced entirely from the Mineral Springs Ranch, located east of the town of Carlton. This is the home base of operations for Soter Vineyards; it is the site of their prize vineyard, winery, tasting lodge, and eventually the Soter home. In short, it is the entire domaine. Planted to 30 acres of Pinot Noir, this beautiful ridge top just east of the town of Carlton has commanding views of the valley, with mature stands of oaktreesandDouglasfirsliningtheroad.
