2017 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
2017 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
One of the best values in the Sojourn portfolio, our Sonoma Coast Pinot noir brings together eight unique lots from vineyards that comprise several of our single vineyard designate bottlings. Sangiacomo, Rodgers Creek, Gap’s Crown, and Dorothy Cameron Vineyards are key components, creating a polished blend that offers robust flavors and exceptional texture. The 2017 vintage of this wine is impeccably balanced with multiple layers of dark cherry, nutmeg and earth, leading to a long finish. It is drinking exceptionally well now with a fresh, complex bouquet that draws you into the glass. At only $42, this wine is the real deal.

International Wine Report
"This starts off with a bouquet of cherry cola with sassafras and black tea elements also shining brightly. The palate displays a brisk acidity with bright minerals that connect with cran-cherry, pomegranate seed and Mandarin orange rind flavors. Energetic and enticing, this will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2019-2028." - Dr. Owen Bargreen, International Wine Report

"All the crunchy, tart-berry character, plus the crisp acidity you expect from a Sonoma Coast pinot noir. Great freshness and some mineral character at the finish." - James Suckling

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Pale ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, aged in 50% new French oak, offers bright aromas of cranberry sauce, Bing cherries, rhubarb and pomegranate with notes of dried leaves, cinnamon stick, citrus peel and potpourri. The palate is light-bodied with bright, crunchy fruits, a soft frame and super juicy freshness on the finish." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
