2024 Blackberry Block Estate Pinot Noir

VINTAGE HIGHLIGHTS
After a cool spring, 2024's first notable heat came to Oregon in mid-to late June when the berries were in the early stage of development, followed by a week-long heat wave in July. Fruit came in as usual with slightly small berries from the July heat. August brought slightly warmer than average temperatures followed by September, which was a roller coaster for temperatures with record breaking heat early and late in the month, sandwiching a very cool period in between. October continued a run of very nice conditions to end the 2024 vintage. Generally mild to warm temperatures and not much precipitation until late in October made for a vintage with little to no pressure to pick until the fruit was showing its best flavors and acidity.

WINE PROFILE
The 2024 Blackberry Block Estate Pinot Noir opens with aromas of Italian plum that evolve into tart cherry on the palate and finish with a hint of black tea.

THE STORY
The Blackberry Block is the first piece of land purchased by Alison and Alex Sokol Blosser when they succeeded Bill and Susan Sokol Blosser in the family business. It was named for the 20+ years of untamed growth of blackberry bushes throughout the block. Despite all the hard work to prepare the land for planting in 2008, it now thrives as one of Sokol Blosser’s Cellar Club designated wines.
