The Sokol Blosser family planted their first grapevines in 1971 in the Dundee Hills and now farms over 85 certified organic acres. As one of the pioneering wineries of the region, Sokol Blosser has played a key role in developing and shaping the now-prominent Oregon wine industry. The winery works to create wines of world-class quality, produced in a sustainable manner, which reflect the distinctive flavors of the grapes, soil, and climate, as well as the winery's values and sense of place. The winery, which is wholly family owned and operated by the second generation, produces Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Evolution (a proprietary white wine blend of nine varieties) and Meditrina (proprietary red blend), along with small quantities of Single Block Pinot Noirs in selected vintages.
Sokol Blosser Winery pursues environmentally friendly practices in all phases of its business, including farming their estate vineyards to USDA certified organic standards, using biodiesel in farm tractors, and purchasing unbleached paper products for labels and wine boxes. Sokol Blosser’s 25kW photovoltaic solar panel system provides for one third of the Winery’s energy needs, and their underground barrel cellar, built to U.S. Green Building Council standards, became the first winery building in the country to earn the prestigious LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
