Sokol Blosser's Evolution White Wine (A blend of: Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Semillon, Muscat, Sylvaner, and Rivaner), $16.99-$20.99, 90 points, has a bright lemon/lime color, with a Kool aroma of honey, honeydew melon, cane-sugar, juicy white-grapes, and hints of lemon zest, Yowza! Tropical fruit seems to cover the flavor profile, but some just may find flavor hints of all that makes-up the aroma in this white wine. Fear-not, there's a nice balance in this light to medium bodied white wine, smooth, crisp (Usually one or the other), and finishes nicely on a more citrus note.
Paired beautifully with my Cod-fillet sandwich!

Nice write up. Thinking of picking up a few of these for summer time sippers.
ReplyDeleteBill, I've been having a heck of a time with Google's new blog settings, but I'm finally able to reply: I think this wine will be a crowd pleaser, if only because it will be something to everyone. Please let me know how it goes.

Clearly, I'm behind...
ReplyDeleteI generally like Sokol Blosser. This wine, however, is not one of my favorites. I'm not really sure why. I think I may have a problem with whites that have so many varietals - reds don't really bother me. Having said that, this IS a really nice wine...I just doubt I'll buy it.
I recently tasted the red version of this wine. It's fairly simple, an easy drinking wine. I liked it but didn't buy it. I bought the K Syrah instead. Would I buy it? Possibly.
