More than almost anyone else among Oregon’s pioneering Pinot Noir producers, Sokol Blosser has kept the Burgundian “elegance and authenticity above all” imperative that put Oregon Pinots on the map in the first place.
But first with the Kalita, with its richer and fuller Eola-Amity style, and now with the Grand Cru of Eola-Amity, Temperance Hill, Sokol Blosser has managed to “amp up the volume” (the color, richness, power and depth)…but still with no distortion. Which as Oregonian Matt Kramer famously said is the Pinot Noir ideal.
This one is a true beauty, and almost ludicrously underpriced for what it is.
