94 Points - Wine Enthusiast
93 Points - Owen Bargreen

Showcases skill, balance and depth, offering juicy black cherry, strawberry and cola with savory notes of black tea, nutmeg and earth on its soft and refined palate.  Drinking exceptionally well now with a fresh complex bouquet that draws you right into the glass that leads into a long satisfying finish.  Gorgeous terroir-driven Pinot Noir that will cellar well over the next decade.

This is the real deal and represents one of the best values in the Sojourn portfolio.  You'll want to grab as much of this gem as you possibly can!

Winemaking
The 2019 vintage was similar to 2018 in that the mild season allowed for long and slow maturation. The lack of major heat waves and virtually no rain during harvest allowed us to pick every vineyard block at optimal ripeness. The 2019 vintage was slightly lower yielding, which resulted in greater concentration in the wines. Balanced structures and rich flavors are consistent throughout the 2019 vintage wines. This 2019 blend showcases a higher proportion of Walala and Gap’s Crown Vineyard components, resulting in greater intensity and rich texture. It is layered with expressive aromas and the silky mouthfeel common among the vineyard-designate wines produced from these same vineyards.

Vineyard
This wine is a blend of eight unique lots produced from Sonoma Coast vineyards ranging from Occidental to the Petaluma Gap. Gap's Crown, Sangiacomo, Rodgers Creek and Walala Vineyards represent key components used to produce this blend. Pinot noir clones 115, 828, 667, Pommard, and Wädenswil 2A add unique elements creating a complex Pinot noir with a myriad of textures and flavors. Each vintage, this blend offers balance and vibrant, lush textures that are characteristic of the Gap’s Crown and Sangiacomo vineyard components.
