Chose over the much-hyped pop bomb with the waxed neck and glad I did. Very well-made Willamette Pinot, cherry red in the glass, with a well-balanced nose of strawberry fruit and oak. Taste was consistent with the brilliant color and nose, soft notes of fruit and oak perfectly crafted. No fruit bomb here, nor clumsy oaking - just right. Loved it!

Remarkably balanced across dimensions of acidity, body, tannins and fruit as well as in its subtle complexity, structure, and varied highlights. Did not need decanting from our initial tasting, so we did not. For me, one of the better pinot noirs I've had.

Nice Pinot 30 min decant. No copious notes but capped halfway through. Second night fruit had pretty much faded and disappointed. Not a rebuy for me which is a shame because the first time I had Sokol Blosser it was very good. Hoping and I'll mark it up to bottle variation because my notes seems to be out of norm.

Nice wine. Elegant fruit flavors; well balanced. Medium length. Fell apart on day 2.
