Soter found that these tiny berries more easily retain elasticity and hence phenolic quality in the Willamette Valley than they did in more heat-prone Northern California

Massolino counts a quarter of that total

It is very similar to the bottle tasted blind at the Southwold tasting

Paul Jaboulet Aine (Pierrelles), Cote Rotie Vintage:2017 Soter found that these tinyThe 2017 Cote Rotie Domaine des Pierrelles is full bodied but exceedingly elegant, with silky, fine grained tannins. Charming notes of violets, raspberries and black olives lead the way, backed by hints of dried spices and mocha, finishing long. It's a complex and compelling example of Cote Rotie, and it's great to see all of the Jaboulet team's hard work in the vineyards paying off.
