Sokol Blosser 2022 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ml

There is a pungent intensity to the 2022 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir that is evocative of umami richness and flinty gunpowder mineral depth. Scents of forest floor, turned earth and pine tar frame notes of ripe bramble fruit. The palate has ripeness and the classic structure one associates with the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Black cherries, red plum skin and a note of clove and smoke cross the palate, delivering a stony component to the finish.
