North Valley Vineyards Description
North Valley Vineyards was originally formed as a dedicated Partnership between Tony & Michelle Soter (of Soter Vineyards and Mineral Springs Ranch in Carlton) and Winemaker James Cahill, representing a unique combination of deep, collective experience and genuine passion. James is now shepherding the brand as it begins a new chapter, independent of Soter Vineyards. The new project has two estate vineyards as its foundation and will continue collaboration with grower partners we have worked with for more than a decade, truly a “North Valley Collective”.
Winemaker, James Cahill, is a veteran of over 20 harvests in Oregon's Willamette Valley (and from TEXAS). His winemaking history includes time as Director of Operations with our esteemed colleague, Beaux Freres, Associate Winemaker and Vineyard Manager at Elk Cove and, finally, as Winemaker alongside Tony Soter at Soter Vineyards where the North Valley project began. His commitment to the study of wine and his broad range of experience embodies our winemaking philosophy.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2022 Chardonnay Classic is wonderfully floral, with masses of crushed stones and dusty dried flowers giving way to lime-tinged peach. It opens with saline and citrus as crisp orchard fruits cascade throughout. It finishes remarkably fresh, literally mouth-watering, leaving a salty flourish and hints of spice. While not labeled as such, the 2021 hails entirely from the Gran Moraine Vineyard.
