93pts. Soter Vineyards 2018 Pinot Noir Eola-Amity Hills
This young wine needs another year or two to completely integrate, but the components are all in place—bright raspberry fruit, a strong citrus flavor adding zest and acidity, and crisp definition through the finish. It was aged in 40% new French oak. Drink from 2023 on

93pts. Soter Vineyards 2018 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills
Forward flavors of mixed berries carry subtle hints of sun-dried tomatoes, adding texture and depth. Tannins are soft and plush, providing an airiness to the extended finish. Drink now and over the next four or five years.

95pts. Soter Vineyards 2018 Pinot Noir Yamill-Carlton
Hibiscus and perfectly ripe strawberries, like the best parcel in a top Tokyo department store. Hints of crushed stone and some lemon grass. Forest floor and some fresh mushroom, too. Full-bodied with fine, polished tannins that are layered and velvety. The finish goes on for minutes. Yet there is so much more to come. Better after 2026 but already a joy to drink
