Fall 2025 Wine Club Release
Dear Friends,
Each season reminds us of the landโs constancy. While the world beyond the vineyard shiftsโfull of chaos, uncertainty, and the whims of weatherโthe vines keep us grounded. Their rhythm is steadfast, their cycle both ancient and immediate. In their way, they teach us about patience, resilience, and the beauty of Nature.
For fifteen years now, Winemaker Chris Fladwood and I have worked side by side, shaping wines that honor tradition while still managing to surprise us. This season, once again, weโve had the joy of rolling up our sleevesโhands in the dirt, hearts in the workโand savoring the sweetness of an early September harvest of remarkable quality.
While this seasonโs wines are in the making, we are delighted to present three wines now ready for your appreciation.
The 2021 Mineral Springs Brut Rosรฉ โ Crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it is vibrant, lush, and litheโthe kind of wine that makes any occasion feel luminous. This is the only sparkling wine in this yearโs club allocation (a hint that our beloved Blanc de Blancs is resting a little longer, set to join the winter shipment).
The inaugural bottling from Tarren Vineyard โ From rocky slopes and volcanic soils long destined for greatness comes this limited, single-vineyard Pinot Noir. The debut 2023 Tarrenโjust a few hundred casesโmarks the beginning of a story we believe will, in time, place this site among the great vineyards of the Willamette Valley. (Tarren Vineyard pictured above).
Our flagship Mineral Springs Ranch Pinot Noir โ The wine that tells our most important story with unmistakable character it is both anchor and compass: a reminder of where we began, and where we are going.
Each bottle holds more than wineโit frames our shared moments with food, family and friends. Life tests our resilience, but there are days when good wine adds pure joyโso resonant it reminds us why we gather, why we celebrate. Indeed, life is too short to drink anything but delicious wine.
As you continue onto the notes for this yearโs vintage and allocation, know that in a time of growing choice and competition, your support means everything. We raise a glass with deep gratitudeโfor your trust, your enthusiasm, and the simple fact that you choose these wines.
With gratitude,
Tony Soter and the Soter Vineyards Team
Mineral Springs Ranch, Fall 2025
