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 they have worked with for more than a decade: truly a “North Valley Collective.”
