What is a boy to do when his father ruthlessly chops down his favourite boyhood climbing tree in the name of grape growing? Well, Alex Sokol Blosser is still trying to figure that one out. Until then, Alex drinks Big Tree Pinot Noir and thinks about climbing the strong limbs of a solitary, beautiful, and graceful Big Leaf Maple Tree that used to lie smack dab in the middle of a block of Pinot Noir.
Big Tree is strong like its namesake, with the most powerful tannins of any Pinot Noir coming off Sokol Blosser's estate. Shallow soil on this site makes the vines struggle more than the rest of their vineyard and produces strength in the wine. The tannins are something your taste buds can climb up, just like Alex used to be able to do when there was a tree there.
The Big Tree Block Estate Pinot Noir has a light and floral nose. This wine has a complex mouthfeel and soft tannins with a pop of pink peppercorn.
Serve with hearty meats like lamb burgers on a brioche bun with a healthy schmear of smoked ketchup.
94 Points - James Suckling
A very impressive wine with a striking sense of spice, white pepper and briary, and forest notes across red cherries. The palate has a sapid, focused style with taut yet silky tannins holding long and true. Pure red cherries here. Drink or hold.
