Sokol Blosser makes three different block-designated Pinots, all unfiltered and quite limited (198 cases of this one). Its full, rich bouquet has an arresting blend of raisins, tea, cherry-tobacco and Port-like scents. Underneath are nuances of licorice and tobacco, and it smells and tastes like a Chianti riserva. Lovely weight, perfect ripeness and good persistence. —P.G.——P.G.(4/1/2002)—— 90
