Each block was picked at night and immediately pressed whole cluster to retain freshness. In a warmer year, this vineyard is evocative and seductive.

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.
