Evolution Pinot Noir 2017
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesAfter a late, cool start it got hot in Oregon in 2017. How hot? Well so hot that the Sokol Blosser folks said the “underground barrel cellar reached temps that we have never seen before (in the 70s F) and the expanding wine pushed some bungs out.” By September 17th the heat had passed and the pinot noir was picked began and ran six weeks. Evolution is the easy drinking SB pinot, concentrating on pure fruit flavours. Evolution is fermented and aged in stainless steel but filled out with a small amount of oak staves submerged in the stainless steel tanks for 2-3 months during aging. Ripe red fruit and brisk acidity, spice and tea shape this eminently drinkable, clean, fresh pinot. The winery suggests wood-fired pizza or a roasted turkey. I couldn’t agree more.Tasted: 29 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $28.51 | 750ml | private wine stores |
