Sokol Blosser 'Big Tree Block' Pinot Noir 2014 Review
Wild yet lovable, this edgy Pinot Noir is all angles and surprises, combining juicy Bing cherry with whole, brambly berries, along with crunchy salt, rusty iron, and tangy earth. The palate adds peppercorn, tobacco, and brown sugar to the mix, rounding out the flavors and setting up a lingering, savory-sweet finish.
