Sokol Blosser was created in 1971 by Bill Blosser and Susan Blosser, who shared a passion for fine wine. Their offspring have continued their tradition, producing excellent single vineyard wines. But the vision has also evolved, resulting in the Evolution brand of wines priced for frequent, more casual consumption. This 2024 Evolution is crafted from Willamette Valley fruit and is a good buy at $18 to $20 a bottle. But if you are on the Sokol Blosser mailing list, as I am, you get occasional crash bargain offers. For this wine, I paid 119.00 for a 12-bottle case with free ground shipping. Unfortunately, the offer has now expired, but there will be more in the future.
Medium light garnet color. Vibrant aromas and flavors--cranberries, red raspberries, cherries with a hint of cinnamon. 2024 was a dream vintage, according to the winemaker, "allowing the fruit to hang on the vine and develop a solid personality." I am just starting to enjoy that personality...and the special price. It is plenty good tonight, and I am sure it will get even better before I reach the bottom of the case.
