Good to know
Sokol Blosser Winery, established in 1971 in Oregon's Willamette Valley, was among the first to focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay while embracing sustainable and organic practices. Evolution White embodies their experimental approach, blending grapes from a single vineyard site picked together for natural synergy, avoiding the inconsistencies of vintage variation.
Tasting notes
- Nose: Bright aromas of tropical pineapple, white peach, and citrus zest, with subtle floral hints of jasmine and a touch of wet stone minerality.
- Palate: Juicy layers of pear, green apple, and honeydew melon unfold with crisp acidity, balanced by gentle spice from Gewürztraminer and a creamy texture from Pinot Gris.
- Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus pith and a faint herbal echo.
Notable details
- Production: Field blend from organically farmed grapes; fermented in stainless steel for freshness, non-chill filtered.
- Lineage: Signature offering from Sokol Blosser, a pioneer in Oregon winemaking and LIVE-certified sustainable practices.
- Comparison: Approachable alternative to crisp Sauvignon Blanc blends, with more complexity than basic quaffers.
- Availability: Widely distributed year-round due to non-vintage consistency.
Serving suggestions
- Chilled neat or with a splash of soda for summer sipping.
