The 2013 Pinot Noir Goosepen Block was picked on September 13 and spent 17 months in French oak, 40% new. It has a slightly ferrous, wild strawberry, raspberry and bergamot-scented bouquet with superb delineation, as I have come to expect from Sokol Blosser. The palate is medium-bodied with an edgy opening. Unlike the Orchard Block, this feels as if it needs more time in bottle to coalesce, although there are delightful black plum, cranberry leaf and dried herb notes filtering through. Give this 2-3 years in bottle and hopefully it will address its infant sultriness.
