Reuling Vineyard Pinot Noir is a favorite among the Sojourn team members. It offers a complex range of red and dark fruit aromas with hints of earth and savory herbs. The vineyard’s unique terroir and collection of suitcase clones produce grapes with distinctive qualities. The vines were planted in 2000 under the direction of Mark Aubert and Peter Michael Winery. They are perched on a small sandy hillside with gentle slopes. The vineyard benefits from the cool marine influences converging from the coast, yet is exposed to the sun and afternoon heat, allowing the grapes to reach optimal maturity. This 2023 Pinot Noir opens with complex dark cherry and berry aromas with hints of mushroom, truffle and Herbes de Provence.
