2005 Soter Beacon Hill Pinot Noir

The Soter 2005 is complex and delicious right out of the bottle with blooming lavender, tarragon, and aromatic raspberries. The color is lighter ruby than I remember. The long finish is both burgundian and willamettetian and evolves sip after sip and finally resolving as a caramel creme brulee. I have tasted this wine nearly every quarter for the past 4 years, and have enjoyed every bottle - especially with mediterranean branzino with dill, fennel, capers, " a la sal". and close venezuelan "panas" in this upcoming north east snow blizzard - 92 points.
