Jane Staples rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

From Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, a light garnet red dry Pinot Noir with a delicious nose of ripe red cherries, vanilla and mocha. The palate shows same with baking spice touches of cloves, cinnamon, licorice and forest floor. Finely balanced silky mouthfeel and a long ripe berry finish.




Natalie's Review

Sokol Blosser Pinot Noir 2011, Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States: Love this style of Oregonian Pinot Noir! Fleshy ripe raspberries yet not jammy. Dark spices and intrigue and a wonderfully seductive velvet texture. Full-bodied but not heavy. The vines for this wine are planted in the iron-rich red soils of the Dundee Hills in the Willamette Valley, which helps with photosynthesis. Pair this wine with seared tuna.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
