Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Sokol Blosser / Goosepen Block
Single block wines, such as this one, often show a tight focus rather than a broad palate. Here it works well, wrapping savory notes around red currant fruit. There’s a lightly metallic ring to the flavors, running straight through the finish. Give this a few hours of decanting, or tuck it away for drinking after 2020.
