2023 UV Lucky Well Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2023 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.

"The 2023 Pinot Noir from Sojourn’s UV Lucky Well Vineyard radiates with a vibrant medium ruby center and a shimmering magenta edge. This unique vineyard in the mist-kissed Sonoma Coast AVA thrives under coastal winds. The wine bursts with a medley of ripe black cherries, wild plums, and red currants, all underpinned by layers of crushed rocks, damp earth, and a whisper of flint. The palate is opulent yet finely detailed, with a plush texture that balances its bright acidity and mineral-driven finish. It exudes sophistication and depth, drinking impressively now but with the structure to evolve gracefully for a decade with proper cellaring. Highly recommended." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"The ‘UV Lucky Well Vineyard’ is a site that was formerly farmed by the Valdez family. This Sonoma Coast AVA site has a great deal of fog and wind. The palate unveils a great range of red and black fruits alongside copious minerals, damp soils and stony accents. Dense and generous, drinking beautifully now, enjoy over the next fifteen years." - Owen Bargreen
