Sokol-Blosser Meditrina (Oregon, Non-Vintage)

Category: BlendMike @ 1:27 pm
Sokol-Blosser Meditrina This is a blend of Syrah, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel from Sokol-Blosser in Oregon.  This is a very unique blend that we liked quite a bit.  We have usually been impressed with Sokal Blosser wines, and that is how this one made it into our reviewing wine glasses.
$13 from Costco
Four Trophies
  • Smells of cherry, candy apple with a hint of tobacco and cloves
  • Flavors of strawberry and subtle vanilla
  • Smooth and velvety after decanting
  • You meet a girl… she initially seems very girly and feminine… then you get to know her more later, and find that she loves cigars, scotch and is a huge fan of video games.

Three and a Half Trophies
  • Anise and wood in the aroma.

  • Very Earthy and comfortable…like walking into your grandfathers library and he is sitting there by the fire. there is a distinguised air about it and it makes you want to linger there for a long time.

Erath Pinot Noir (Oregon, 2006)

Category: Pinot NoirMike @ 7:44 am

This is a Pinot Noir from Dundee Hills in Oregon. Oregon is known for producing great Pinots but they can be a little expensive. This one is very good but will not break your bank account. The only real drawback is that it has a screw cap instead of a cork. If you can get past that then you should try this wine. It is very worth it.
$13 Purchased at Costco (typically $19)
Four Trophies
  • Cherries with the slightest hint of bubble gum in the Aroma.
  • Texture is very smooth especially after decanting.
  • Very light and dry.
  • Not too complex.
  • This pinot is very good for the price. It is versatile in the sense that it would be great with anything from pizza to turkey. Kinda like the your jack-of-all-trades best friend you have that you call when you need your oil changed, drywall hung, carpet installed, or just someone to come over and watch the game with. You never really get sick of him being around and he is always a fun.
