In 2021 we produced Cabernet Sauvignon from three vineyards in Oakville to create this robust and generous Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend is dominated by Oakville Ranch Vineyard. Located in the hills among famous neighbors Dalla Valle, Pedregal and Backus vineyards, Oakville Ranch produces powerful, rich, structured wines. Cabernet Sauvignon wines from two other vineyards along Skellenger Lane were blended in to add expressive fruit character and lush tannins. The resulting wine offers layers of dark red and blue fruit flavors with hints of cocoa and dried herbs. This is a rich and vibrant wine that can be enjoyed now, yet will age for 15+ years.

International Wine Report
"The 2021 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon from Sojourn showcases a medium to dark ruby-purple core with a fluorescent rim in the glass. Boisterous aromas of macerated boysenberries, blue plums, milk chocolate, dried purple flowers, leather, and hints of sweet vanilla and white tobacco all are present and wonderfully combined. Medium crunchy tannins lead to a lush balanced finish. Acidity is on point and helps finish things off on a strong note." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"Powerful and richly flavored, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon carries lush flavors of red and black plum, wet tobacco and layers of oak. Tannins are densely packed, velvety-textured and persistent. A wine of generosity." - Elaine Chukan Brown, Wine Enthusiast
Oakville Ranch Vineyard
Oakville, Napa Valley
At 1,000 to 1,400 feet above sea level, the Oakville Ranch Vineyard looks west over Napa Valley. This high elevation and western exposure, in combination with soils of clay over volcanic rock, produce the rich, powerfully structured wines that make the vineyard one of the most sought-after in California for Cabernet Sauvignon.
