As implied by the self-given moniker "winegrower", whether at Etude, his eponymous Oregon winery or as consultant for such A-listers as Dalle Valle and Araujo, Tony Soter sees his work as an oenological quest for perfection. His Pinot Gris is produced from Alsatian clones grown on both the Sonoma and Napa sides of Carneros and is tank fermented and matured. Cali classic.
