2023 Sokol Blosser "Evolution" Riesling, Columbia Valley, Washington, USA

ABOUT THIS WINE

Crafted from 100% Riesling sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in Washington’s Columbia Valley, this wine is part of Sokol Blosser’s popular “Evolution” series—wines designed to be approachable, expressive, and food-friendly. The 2023 vintage benefited from a long, temperate growing season that preserved the variety’s hallmark acidity while encouraging expressive aromatics.

Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to retain freshness and purity, the wine was stopped before full dryness to maintain an off-dry profile with just enough sweetness to enhance its fruit character without overwhelming the palate. There is no oak influence, allowing the clean, zesty citrus and orchard fruit notes to shine through.

Ideal with spicy Asian cuisine, tangy BBQ, fresh seafood, or simply enjoyed on a sunny afternoon, this Riesling thrives in both casual and curated settings.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Founded in 1971 in Oregon’s Dundee Hills, Sokol Blosser is one of the pioneering wineries of the Willamette Valley. A family-owned and -operated estate, it has long been a leader in sustainable farming, organic viticulture, and innovative winemaking. While their heart remains in Oregon Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the Evolution label reflects their creative side—producing wines from a broader range of varietals and AVAs with an emphasis on balance, accessibility, and flavor-forward expression.

The Evolution series is crafted with the same care and ecological commitment as their estate wines, with a focus on minimal intervention and sustainability from vineyard to bottle. The 2023 Evolution Riesling is a joyful testament to that ethos—bright, flexible, and unmistakably modern.
