Sokol Blosser Pinot Noir Estate Cuvée 2014
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesThe 2014 growing season was really warm, yielding a generous crop and one of the largest over Sokol Blosser’s 44 years of winegrowing in Dundee. The dry conditions ensured a clean crop, dark in color. The winery takes 30 percent of the fruit off the skins immediately to maintain a level of pinot pureness. The blend involves each of the pinot blocks spread across the 85-acre estate. A richer style, this vintage offers darker blackberries, black cherries and brambleberries intermixed with savoury forest floor. The texture is lush with a touch of tannins to yet disperse, and the finish is long and persistent with brown spicing. Duck confit, grilled salmon, or pork belly would all be fine complements.Tasted: 05 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $37.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
