let me at least note that Soter’s employment of old heirloom selections he brought with him from California (and that long informed special bottlings under his Etude label) has without question been instrumental in the delicious distinctiveness of his Mineral Ridge bottlings

This is a lovely combination of punch and finesse that has the underlying structure to amply reward up to a decade of cellaring

a decision that has paid off beautifully

tighten up substantially on the dusty finish where once again a hint of bitter cherry surfaces

May or may not be bottled separately
