Sokol Blosser Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2021

A saturated and barely transparent ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Estate is ripe and forward with aromas of cherry lozenge, toasted baking spices, and pressed flowers. Rounded and silky, this medium-bodied red is attractive with ripe red and black-berried fruits, supple, fine tannins, and a graceful finish. It's a very attractive, ripe wine to enjoy over the next few years.

Stargazer lily and lavender aromas swirl around a bowl of blueberries and a warm slice of fresh-baked bread. The soft-textured wine is balanced, with bright acidity, silky tannins and dark cherry, clove, citrus and espresso flavors. A medium-long finish is accented by a touch of cinnamon.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate slowly opens with a savory burst of brown spice and dried black cherries. This is lifted and energetic on the palate, with lively acidity and rose-tinged wild berry fruits. Hints of white pepper and tart raspberry linger as the 2021 finishes long and lightly structured, leaving a licorice tinge.
