The Pinot Noir Your Holiday Table Has Been Waiting For

The Pinot Noir Your Holiday Table Has Been Waiting For

Wines made from the Pinot Noir variety constantly surprise me. Even the wines produced from the same region, same vineyard, same clone. I find the type reminiscent of a mushroom in that it soaks in the vineyard’s terroir more than some. With its thin skin and long growing season, it has the time to soak in the character of the land, delivering a sense of place in the wine. Here are a few that…

Sokol Blosser Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary

Sokol Blosser Celebrates Its 50th Anniversary

Sokol Blosser is celebrating its golden anniversary this year.  The 50-year legacy begins in 1971 when Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser planted vines on Oregon’s gold coast in Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley.  I was invited to join the party where I had the opportunity to celebrate with the family.  It was a party full of fun memorable stories, laughter and reflections on the past 50 years and what…

I haven’t tried this yet, but I love this winery’s white Evolution wine. Anybody had this? Looks like it could be a good mix of tasty and not-too-serious.

Happy Pinot Noir Day! Toasting This Morning on KXAS/NBC DFW

Happy Pinot Noir Day! Toasting This Morning on KXAS/NBC DFW

This morning we toast one of my favorite red wines in the world, great Pinot Noir from wineries in California and Oregon. Though both states grow clones of the finicky variety, there are noticeable differences in the wines coming from regions through Willamette Valley in Oregon, and those grown in parts of California like Anderson Valley, Sonoma Coast, Russian River and more. In honor of the day…

A Peak through the Trees by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around the Sokol Blosser Winery, I took this image of far off vineyards in the nearby hillsides. It was the view through the trees that I visualized and wanted to capture. I exposed the image for the highlights; later in PP, I pulled the shadow details out in the nearby trees. The resulting image had a slight HDR feel but not so much that I would find it distracting either. Here it was the contrast of the bright area of vineyards and shadows of nearby trees that I tried to capture.

Wine Reviews

https://j.mp/2UzHDbG Robert Young Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Scion Estate in Alexander Valley Robert Young Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Scion Estate in Alexander Valley This is a classic. Aromas of Earl Grey tea and hibiscus are balanced with fresh mint and tobacco. The wine is rich and voluptuous, but that is just a framework. Flavors of sun-dried plum and fresh red fruit are accented by cedar and allspice. The finish moved toward chocolate and allspice but then rises into espresso and raspberry. 94 Points | Wine Report by Keith Wallace King Estate Pinot Noir, Oregon King Estate Pinot Noir, Oregon There are very few good Pinot Noirs from Oregon that cost less than $30. This is one of them: Forest floor and bright red fruits on the nose with a hint of toasted anise and orange zest. Light to the point of being ethereal, this bottle offers up varietal and regional correctness without any flash. 89 Points | Wine Report by Keith Wallace Domaine les Evigneaux Rasteau Domaine les Evigneaux Rasteau Sourced from ancient vines of Grenache and Syrah, this is a blockbuster. Aromas of forest floor fall into a huge blast of dark fruit. Cuban cigar and lavender notes drive into a deep flavor pit of licorice, chocolate, and blueberry preserves. Velvet tannins and a lush, full-body push this bottle into the stratosphere. 90 Points | Wine Report by Keith Wallace Wynns “Black Label” Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra Wynns “Black Label” Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra This wine drinks like a third-growth Bordeaux, with elegance and refined flavors balanced with a deep sinewy strength. Scents of dried roses and cigar ash on the nose are mixed into aromas of fresh dark fruit. The palate is underpinned with cigar boxes and finely structured tannins. Fruit flavors veer towards plum and cassis, while spice notes —cardamom, allspice, cinnamon– range from aroma to attack to the finish. Fresh mint rises into the finish and disappears into a final note of anise. 93 Points | Wine Report by Keith Wallace Carneros Hills Pinot Noir Carneros Carneros Hills Pinot Noir Carneros Like most Carneros vineyards, it is planted to old-school clones of Pinot Noir like Swann and Pommard. Those clones give Carneros Pinot its bright bay-leaf flavors, which some folks (incorrectly) attribute to terroir. Classic scents of porcini and fresh flowers on the nose, with a hint of burnt coffee. Cranberry and persimmon flavors are layered on a light-bodied frame with just enough tannins to keep the wine vibrant. The finish steps up into burnt earth and stone. A lingering note of cherry cola is quite delightful. 91 Points | Wine Report by Keith Wallace Terra Corsa Rose, Corsica Terra Corsa Rose, Corsica Fresh and vibrant, this rose offers up scents of blood orange and basil. Melon and black pepper are delightful flavors that fade into fresh cherry and river rocks.  The wine is mostly Nielluccio, which is a classic Corsican grape with strong genetic links to Sangiovese. 89 Points | Wine Report by Keith Wallace Sokol Blosser Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley Sokol Blosser Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley This is the finest Pinot Gris this winery has made in a long time. The minerality of ocean air underpins the aromas of apricot stones and honey. The palate is a delightful balance of fat white fruit, and crisp acidity. Ripe pear notes and waxy pineapple have a counterpoint to racy grapefruit. Fresh and light with just the right amount of flesh, this bottle is going to be my go-to for West Coast oysters. 89 Points | Wine Report by Keith Wallace By Keith Wallace https://j.mp/2UzHDbG
