2023 Ueberroth Vineyard Pinot Noir, Petaluma Gap
2023 Ueberroth Vineyard Pinot Noir, Petaluma Gap
This is our inaugural vintage producing an Ueberroth Vineyard Pinot Noir. We have been working with Ueberroth since 2021 and it has impressed us each year, especially the block of clone 943 which forms the foundation of dark red fruit and rich texture. Clones Pommard and Mt. Eden are blended in adding layers of complexity. The vineyard is in a cool pocket of the windy Petaluma Gap allowing for longer hang times while retaining freshness and acidity. It offers robust flavors of rhubarb and tart cherries with a silky texture.

"The 2023 Pinot Noir from Sojourn’s Ueberroth Vineyard highlights the breezy, coastal charm of the Petaluma Gap. Aromas of dark cherry, wild strawberry, cedary herbs, and a hint of licorice flow seamlessly into flavors of pomegranate, clove, and a touch of wet stone. The wine’s bold and layered profile is balanced by a vibrant, mineral-driven freshness that lingers elegantly on the finish. This expressive Pinot Noir showcases both power and finesse, offering immediate appeal with the potential to age gracefully over the next decade." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"The ‘Ueberroth Vineyard’ is located in the Petaluma Gap which is a windy site in the Sonoma Coast AVA. This 2023 Pinot Noir offers cola notes alongside sassafras, black raspberry and shades of salty soils on the palate. Generous and broad-shouldered, with a bright sense of minerality, enjoy now and over the next ten to fifteen years." - Owen Bargreen
Ueberroth Vineyard
Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap
Ueberroth Vineyard is located at the southern end of the foggy and windy Petaluma Gap region of the Sonoma Coast. Planting began in 2019 under the direction of grower Keri Ueberroth and vineyard manager Tyler Klick. Sojourn’s blocks of clone 943, 4, and Pommard are planted on 3309 rootstock. Each block has a slightly different aspect to the sun and offers up unique characteristics. This is one of the coolest sites we work with and the resulting wines are balanced and distinctive.
