Soter Vineyards release Napa Valley Proprietary Red

24/06/05 Soter Vineyards, an elite producer of Pinot Noir and sparkling wine in Oregon's northern Willamette Valley, expanded their lineup of acclaimed wines with the release of 250 cases of a new and unique Napa Valley Proprietary Red called "Little Creek," made from vines owned and personally tended by Tony and Michelle Soter.

After making 2 decades' worth of acclaimed wines for the likes of Viader, Dalla Valle, Spottswoode, Shafer, and Araujo, Tony Soter is invigorated by the opportunity to make wines from his own estate vineyards that match the great wines of his career. The same attention to detail and zeal that made Etude Cabernet Sauvignon famous is now brought to bear on a much smaller scale, in this 2.5-acre, 14 year old vineyard in Napa's Tulocay AVA.

Tony and Michelle Soter are thrilled by the results of their labor. This blend -- unlike any other in the world -- has uncommon complexity and poise, and promises to improve in the cellar for many years to come.
