2017 Soter Pinot Noir North Valley

Immediately engaging with a nose of plums, spice, black cherries and earth.  The wine is ripe and rich, but with good underlying acidity.  Similar themes on the palate as expressed in the aromatic profile, with dark chocolate notes.  Brambly, darkly fruited and very showy as a young wine, it has medium body and finishes strong with balanced tannins.
