2023 Rodgers Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, 750mL

The 2023 Sojourn Pinot Noir from Rodgers Creek Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast radiates sophistication and vibrancy. Its medium ruby-garnet core gently fades to a delicate pink rim, offering visual allure. On the nose, earthy tones of dusty herbs and crushed stone emerge first, followed by a medley of spiced blue plums, ripe crushed strawberries, and a touch of sweet herbs carried by a saline breeze. The interplay between fruit, spice, and earthy elements is impeccably balanced, showcasing precision and finesse. Sweet, crunchy tannins provide structure, while the medium to full body and moderate acidity create a seamless, mouthwatering finish. Highly recommended.

For years wines from the ‘Rodgers Creek Vineyard’ have impressed from this location on a ridge in the Sonoma Coast AVA. Like the ’22 bottling, the ’23 is a viscous Pinot Noir with gorgeous tension and a great melange of red and black fruit flavors with the salty, citrus rind undertones. Full-bodied and delicious, enjoy this Beaty now and over the next fifteen years to come.
