2022 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
2022 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast vineyards produced small clusters with tiny berries in 2022, resulting in intense Pinot Noir wines. The yields were miniscule, so we could only produce a small quantity of these exceptional wines. Our Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is a blend of eight vineyards spread across the AVA from Annapolis in the north, to Occidental in the west, and down to the southern tip of the Petaluma Gap. This 2022 blend offers intense aromas of red fruits and earthy notes, leading to layers of texture and refreshing acidity. At only $45, this wine delivers outstanding value.

"A solid, juicy version, with a modestly toasty frame surrounding a mix of black cherry and blackberry compote flavors, while light accents of singed apple wood and anise add energy and range on the finish." - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

"This is a darker and deeper style of Pinot, with black fruit, mushroom and fresh loam aromas dominating the nose. The palate displays black tea, cedar, clove and cherry-raspberry fruit before evolving into a grippy but balanced finish. Enjoy this alongside grilled lamb with rosemary." - Tom Capo, Wine Enthusiast

International Wine Report
"The AVA-focused Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir from Sojourn boasts a medium ruby-purple core with a lighter purple rim and saw 50% new French oak during aging. Delightful aromas of blueberries, turned earth, charcuterie, dried rose petals, dried orange peel, and sweet baking spice pop from the glass. Sweet, rounded tannins and leveled acidity help with the earthy and blue-fruited finish." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"This 2022 Pinot Noir comes form the Sonoma Coast AVA. On the nose this exudes class with menthol and red rose petals alongside cran-ornage notes. The palate is soft and rich with a smooth texture. Bright red fruits parade with salty soils and Mandarin orange rind flavors on the palate." - Owen Bargreen
