It is a site of historical significance, brought to prominence by Steve Kistler in the 1980s and 90s. His meticulous \"massale selection\" process—propagating only the most resilient vines—created a true masterclass in terroir. Sojourn sources exclusively from the Barn Block, the vineyard's most coveted section known for its naturally low yields. This 100% Old Wente Clone site is a cornerstone of Sonoma viticulture. Favored by winemakers for its \"hen and chick\" berries, the loose clusters allow sunlight to penetrate the interior, resulting in highly concentrated fruit. The resulting wine is bright, lifted, and textural, offering multi-dimensional depth. It opens with dizzying aromas of intense tree fruit and citrus, anchored by a hallmark energetic acid core. Supported by sun-kissed orchard fruit, the palate concludes with a distinct mineral, wet stone finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: 656567;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e94 Points - Owen Bargreen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sojourncellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51280071557416,"sku":"24CHDU750B","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/4661\/4824\/files\/24CHDU_bottle_web.png?v=1773797209"},{"product_id":"2024-sonoma-coast-chardonnay-750ml","title":"2024 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, 750mL","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur 2024 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay showcases three of the top vineyards in the Sonoma Coast – Sangiacomo, Durell, and Gap’s Crown – with the goal of creating a cuvée that illustrates the varietal’s exceptional character across the Sonoma Coast appellation.
