We are thrilled to introduce four new wines in this release, along with several of our most popular small production wines. Our Spring Release is headlined by our 96 point rated 2023 UV Lucky Well Vineyard Pinot Noir and 95 point rated 2023 Gap’s Crown Vineyard Chardonnay, both from the Sonoma Coast. Our new highly acclaimed 2022 Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon will be available in limited quantities.
2023 UV Lucky Well Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
UV Lucky Well Vineyard sits high up on a coastal ridge not far from the Pacific Ocean. It was developed by the late, renowned vineyard manager Ulises Valdez and is still meticulously farmed by the Valdez family. Warm days along with cool breezes and foggy nights allow for the slow maturation of robust, complex flavors and silky texture.
2023 Nightwing Vineyard Pinot Noir
Nightwing is located at 1,200 feet elevation on a windy mountainside at the eastern edge of the cool Sonoma Coast appellation. It gets its name from the variety of winged creatures that come alive as the sun sets. Pommard clone, planted at the top of the vineyard, provides a deep, rich core and silky texture. Clone 115, residing lower on a steep slope, adds fresh red fruit flavors and structure.
2023 Ueberroth Vineyard Pinot Noir, Petaluma Gap
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.
2023 Petaluma Gap Pinot Noir
This wine is a blend of four lots from premier vineyards in the wind-swept Petaluma Gap region of the Sonoma Coast. They join together with wonderful synergy, combining the intensity and structure of the hillside Gap’s Crown Vineyard with the elegance and creamy texture of Sangiacomo Vineyard. Flavors are bright yet deep and resonate with a savory nuance.
2021 Blanc de Blancs Sparkling, Sonoma Coast
We are thrilled to announce a brand-new wine, our 2021 vintage Sparkling Blanc de Blancs. This second Sojourn sparkling wine was made with 100% Chardonnay grapes from the Sonoma Coast.
2022 Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Moon Mountain District
Monte Rosso Vineyard is stunning in so many ways, including its views, landscape, soils, old vines, and above all its heritage dating back to the 1800s. We consider it a privilege to make wine from this legendary vineyard with signature red, volcanic Red Hill Loam soils and a long history of producing exceptional wines of depth and complexity.
2022 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
In 2022, our Oakville vineyard blocks were picked in late October and achieved optimal maturity. Each lot was aged in French oak barrels from Darnajou, Taransaud, Orion, and Silvain master coopers. The final blend showcases the exceptional balance associated with the vintage and the signature dark fruit flavors and graphite notes characteristic of Oakville.
2022 Moon Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon
This is Sojourn’s inaugural release of our brand-new Moon Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon. It is elegant and balanced, offering depth and complex layers of flavors and texture. Moon Mountain is located in the Mayacamas mountain range that divides Napa Valley from Sonoma Valley. It is home to the most sought-after Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in Sonoma County due to its rocky, volcanic soils and warm inversion layer that ripens the grapes to optimal maturity.
2023 Gap’s Crown Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
As our most mineral-driven Chardonnay, this wine possesses layers of depth and nuance. We source Chardonnay grapes from three distinct blocks within the vineyard, each providing key elements of the final blend. Clusters are typically small and dense. Zesty aromas of citrus, flint and floral notes lead to flavors of stone fruit. The texture is smooth and persistent.
