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.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Sourced from several sites, Sojourn's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 70% new French oak. Picked well after the September heatwave, it boasts dark fruit aromas but no overtly raisined notes, plus hints of clove and loamy earth. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied, nicely smooth and supple in feel, with a slightly tart, bright finish." - Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Sojourn Cellars ‘Oakville’ Cabernet Sauvignon was stored in 70% new French oak before bottling. It is forward and delicious stuff, having a core of dark cherry compote, creme de cassis and violets with coffee ground accents. Drink 2025-2031" - Owen Bargreen
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.
