the 2016 I tasted next to it is even better

This is even bigger and more powerful with its mouth coating broad-shouldered flavors that possess plenty of muscle before culminating in an explosive but tightly wound finish that just goes on and on

There are sleek but velvety middle weight flavors that possess both a lovely sense of vibrancy and minerality

a sign of which is the ripping-out of drip lines at the time of my visit that were helpful in establishing the vineyard but whose use Soter is convinced are unnecessary for the future

yet concentrated style that’s going to continue evolving gracefully for 15 years or more
