About the winery · Sokol Blosser Winery ›
Evolution is a Sokol Blosser Winery label from Dundee, Oregon. The brand began in 1998 and became known first for its blended white wine before expanding into additional Oregon wines. Sokol Blosser traces its roots to 1971, when Susan Sokol and Bill Blosser planted vines in Oregon's Dundee Hills. The Evolution Pinot Noir is positioned as an approachable, food-flexible Willamette Valley Pinot Noir rather than a single-vineyard or reserve bottling.
