Sojourn Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Description

”THE VINEYARDS This wine is a blend of eight unique lots produced from Sonoma Coast vineyards ranging from Occidental to the Petaluma Gap. Gaps Crown, Sangiacomo, Rodgers Creek and Riddle Vineyards represent key components used to produce this blend. Pinot noir clones 115, 828, 667, Pommard, and Wadenswil 2A add unique elements creating a complex Pinot noir with a myriad of textures and flavors. The 2014 vintage of this wine is balanced and vibrant with lush textures that are characteristic of the Gaps Crown and Sangiacomo vineyard components.WINEMAKER NOTES The 2014 growing season began very early with winter drought conditions leading to early bud break and one of the earliest harvests on record. March rains fueled the vines and moderate summer weather allowed the grapes to develop at an even pace. We began picking in late August as the grapes achieved optimal ripeness. All of our Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes were picked by the end of September. Thicker skins and even ripening conditions resulted in balanced, complex wines of depth and nuance. Our Sonoma Coast blend showcases the bold expressive phenolics of the individual vineyard components. Sangiacomo, Rodgers Creek, and Riddle vineyard traits are apparent with lush creamy textures, a combination of red and dark fruit aromas, and a concentrated core that is persistent yet elegant.ABOUT THE WINERY Based in the town of Sonoma, Sojourn Cellars is a highly acclaimed winery specializing in the production of artisan Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
