For 20 years, Soter, 51, was one of Napa's most successful winemaking consultants, giving advice and services to wineries that today are among the cult Cabernet Sauvignon-producing elite -- Araujo, Dalla Valle, Niebaum- Coppola, Shafer, Spottswoode and Viader. He added his own Napa Valley brand, Etude Wines -- high-end Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Blanc -- to his repertoire in 1982, and by 1997 owned a 45-acre vineyard parcel in Oregon's Willamette Valley, where he makes Pinot Noir and sparkling wine.

I have always thought that Souter's early Etude Pinot Noir from Carneros was the best Pinot coming from California. As the portfolio grew I always felt they were his most expressive wines. I am looking forward to tasting his new efforts with estate grown grapes as well as his Oregon wines. Unfortunately these wines are very hard to come by here in TN. Thanks again Craig for keeping us up to date.

Good for Tony with his new winery. Bad for fans of RMS Distillery. Their Special Reserve Brandy was excellent. They would include pinot noir juice from the estate in the pre-distilled blend...

What happened to their stock?
