The 2015 vintage provided idyllic weather conditions in Napa Valley. Our Proprietary Cuvée exudes the concentrated and voluptuous character of Cabernet Sauvignon from the vintage. Blended from renowned Napa Valley hillside and valley floor vineyards, we produce a Proprietary Cuvée only in vintages when we can create a blend of exceptional quality and ageing potential. This wine showcases two exclusive vineyards – famed Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III in Rutherford and the exclusive, hillside Oakville Ranch Vineyard. The resulting wine is balanced and impressive. It possesses gorgeous red and dark fruit aromas that lead to flavors of dark cherry, earth and mouth-watering chocolate. Enjoy now or sock it away to enjoy for years to come.

International Wine Report
"Sourced from Napa (Oakville Ranch Vineyard and Vineyard Georges III Vineyard), this is an outstanding new release from a very hot vintage in the valley. This gorgeous, deep colored wine starts off with aromas of mocha, crushed mint and eucalyptus. The palate is lithe and intense with graphite, crème de cassis, mocha and red bell pepper flavors that layer this massive red. Memorable and very approachable in its youth, this is a stunning wine from Sojourn." - Dr. Owen Bargreen, International Wine Report

Wine Enthusiast
"This is a nicely put together, complex red, brimming in smooth layers of integrated black fruit, plum, cinnamon and clove. The robust ripeness is well-managed and in check, with a welcome smoky touch to the lengthy finish." - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast
Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III
Rutherford, Napa Valley
Sojourn is honored to source fruit from Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III, a famed property developed by winemaking pioneer Georges de Latour in 1928 and cultivated by the legendary Andre Tschelistcheff.
Oakville Ranch Vineyard
Oakville, Napa Valley
At 1,000 to 1,400 feet above sea level, the Oakville Ranch Vineyard looks west over Napa Valley. This high elevation and western exposure, in combination with soils of clay over volcanic rock, produce the rich, powerfully structured wines that make the vineyard one of the most sought-after in California for Cabernet Sauvignon.
