2018 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
2018 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
One of the best values in the Sojourn portfolio, the 2018 Sonoma Coast Pinot noir brings together eight unique lots from sites that comprise several of our single- vineyard designate bottlings. Sangiacomo, Rodgers Creek, Walala and Gap’s Crown Vineyards are the key components, creating a polished blend that offers robust flavors and exceptional texture. The 2018 vintage offers balance and depth, 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. This wine is the real deal.

"The same could be said for the 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, which has a slightly fresher, more floral, raspberry-laced perfume as well as lots of pine and foresty nuances, medium to full body, a tight, vibrant texture, and a great finish. It's another beautiful wine that should evolve for 5-7 years or so." - Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2018 Sojourn Cellars ‘Sonoma Coast’ Pinot Noir was aged in 50% new French oak before bottling. The wine is declassified fruit from a host of great Sonoma Coast Vineyards. The wine has a soft texture with medium-bpdied and bright red fruits, cola and citrus rind accents on the palate. Delightful now, this will cellar well over the next decade." - Dr. Owen Bargreen, International Wine Report

"Minerally, with a well-structured mix of dried cherry, berry and pomegranate flavors, featuring a rich, savory edge. Notes of hot stone and spice emerge on the broad finish, revealing creamy touches." - Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator
