Sojourn Cellars was founded in 2001 by longtime friends Erich Bradley and Craig Haserot, who wanted to produce small batches of Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from some of Northern California’s highest-quality vineyards. While the winery produces wine from grapes grown across the Napa Valley, this specific bottling only includes fruit grown in the Oakville AVA, the same AVA as Screaming Eagle. The most recent vintage was produced in 2022, a year that benefited from a warm summer with early ripening grapes with smaller berries and lower yields. According to the winery, this resulted in highly concentrated flavors and more prominent tannins. Aged in 7O percent new French oak barrels, the Cabernet is bottled at 14.6 percent ABV and has notes of mocha, cassis, and blackberry. Like Screaming Eagle, Sojourn Cellars Oakville Cabernet is small production only, though bottles retail for around $95.
