Sokel Blosser 2002 Pinot Noir

[wondersofwine]

The 2002 Sokol Blosser was rated 89 points by "The Wine Report" and 90 points by "The Wine News" according to Paterno Wines International. I do not have personal experience with Sokol Blosser but feel you probably got a good wine. I too passed on the 2003 Ponzi the other day because my preference would have been for the 2002 and I have a number of earlier vintage of Pinots (California and Oregon) to drink up. If you like some California Pinots you might look out for Susan Selby's 2004 Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley (pre-arrival). It's from a French clone that is new to her wines and she says it may be her best Pinot Noir ever (the 2003 is pretty nice also). Are you a fan of Torii Mor Pinot Noir from Oregon? That's another in that general price range that I usually like.
