Our story began in 1971 when our parents, Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser, planted their first vines in the now famous Dundee Hills of Oregon's Willamette Valley.
As second generation winemakers, we are passionate about our family legacy of creating world class wines.
Our wines are made from organically grown grapes in a sustainable manner that puts the environment first.
It perfectly expresses the distinctive flavours of this hill vineyard.
This wine shines with aromas of nectarine, honeycrisp apple, honeydew melon and subtle floral notes, accompanied on the palate by mouthwatering acidity and flavors of candied strawberry and cantaloupe.
2023 was the third warmest growing season on record behind 2015 and 2014.
August was one of the hottest and driest on record, and if it hadn't been for rain in early September, harvest would have begun before the Labor Day holiday on the first Monday of the month.
Thank goodness for the rain! What was particularly interesting about 2023 was that the first hail fell just after flowering.
This was the first time that hail had fallen on our vineyards since we began growing grapes in 1971.
We thought the yield would be higher than normal, but the hail kept it down to what we hoped for.
The fruit harvest was of excellent quality and the heat in August helped to lower the acidity in the grapes somewhat, resulting in wines with great fullness of flavour.
- Winemaker Robin Howell We use only Pinot Noir to create a classic dry rosé.
This Pinot Noir is sourced from our own Concert Block vineyard.
The Concert Block is a large central block located at the front of the Dundee Hills Estate and was the site of the famous Sokol Blosser concerts in the 1990s.
The majority of the block is made up of Missoula flood soils, which are the perfect alluvial soils to produce a light, delicate Pinot Noir that is perfect for rosé.
We make this wine to capture the Oregon summer sunshine in a bottle.
When Sokol Blosser first planted vines in 1971, the wine industry was virtually nonexistent in Oregon.
Today, with over 1,100 wineries and 18,000 hectares of vineyards, Oregon wine can be enjoyed anywhere in the world.
Sokol Blosser is a family-owned winery that has been a leader in sustainable grape growing and business practices since the beginning of winemaking in Oregon.
Sokol Blosser is committed to producing world-class wines that express the distinctive flavors of our hillside vineyards while respecting the environment and our health.
This commitment to world-class quality and environmental awareness are Sokol Blosser's core values, and they not only practice organic farming, but also produce wines that are kind to the environment and the people who work there.
This initiative has been ongoing since the winery was founded, and in the fall of 2005 it received the prestigious official organic certification from the United States Department of Agriculture.
