2022 UV Lucky Well Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2022 UV Lucky Well Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Lucky Well Vineyard was developed in 2008 by the late, famed vineyard manager Ulises Valdez, and continues to be farmed by the Valdez family at the highest level of quality. Ulises gave the vineyard its name in recognition of his luck finding a prolific well in an unexpected location on the property. The vineyard sits atop a knoll of Goldridge sandy-loam soils in the cool and foggy Sebastopol Hills. Sojourn’s blocks include Pommard clone on 101-14 and a distinctive suitcase Vosne-Romanée clone on 420A that blend harmoniously. The rows of Pommard clone run down a steep south east face and provide rich fruit character and full body, while the Vosne-Romanée block is perched on top of the ridge with less direct sunlight and provides exceptional structure with layers of dark red fruit flavors.

International Wine Report
"A shimmering medium ruby-garnet core with a light pink rim, the 2022 UV Lucky Well Pinot Noir is aged in about 50% new French oak barrels. It stuns on the nose with bountiful aromas of red plums, Bing cherries, pomegranate seeds, dried thyme, and dusty cedary herbs. Tannins are well integrated alongside the mouthwatering acidity, while the finish is wild blueberry-focused with lovely vanilla and spice tones." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"The 2022 Pinot Noir UV Lucky Well Vineyard offers a more lifted aromatic profile, with notes of medicinal herbs, spiced cranberries, cinnamon, and dusty earth. Coming from a site in the Green Valley developed by Ulises Valdez in 2008, it has lovely energy through the palate, with fine tannins and a more linear feel, with refreshing, even acidity and a clean, stony finish. It promises to improve with another year or two in bottle. Drink 2025-2037. 325 cases were produced." - Jeb Dunnuck
