2020 Ridgetop Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2020 Ridgetop Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
As the name indicates, this vineyard is located high on a ridge in the remote coastal mountains just miles from the Sonoma coastline. The vines produced miniscule yields again in 2020, resulting in a wine with concentrated flavors, provocative aromatics, and silky texture. Tropical fruit flavors and burnt orange notes create a distinctive personality for this wine. It offers deep, rich flavors with complexity at its core. This Pinot noir wine is produced from Dijon clones 777, 667 and 115, which are desired for generous fruit flavors and age worthy tannins. “I adore the nose – rich, decadent, and bold. Medium-plus acidity, round and plush tannins, medium to full body and lengthy savory finish complete the wine.” – International Wine Report

International Wine Report
"Another scintillating Pinot Noir from Sojourn, this one coming from the Ridgetop Vineyard, and brought
up in 50% new French oak barrels. It brings more huckleberry and strawberry-rhubarb pie notes, with forest floor, brown dried mushroom, and sweet baking spices playing second fiddle. I adore the nose - rich, decadent, and bold. Medium-plus acidity, round and plush tannins, medium to full body and lengthy
savory finish complete the wine." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report
Ridgetop Vineyard
West Sonoma Coast
Located just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean in the town of Annapolis, and sitting at 1,100 feet above sea level, Ridgetop Vineyard is Sojourn’s most coastal vineyard site. The maritime influence effectively moderates high temperatures during summer and fall, while the vineyard’s position on the eastern side of the first coastal ridge protects it from fog.
