* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a nice, likeable Cabernet made for drinking now. It shows fancy Napa tannins and ripe, sweet flavors of blackberries, red cherries, licorice and sandalwood that are intense and concentrated in the way of mountain fruit. Lovely and easy, it will develop bottle complexity over the next 2–3 years.

A dry, polished Pinot, zesty in crisp coastal acidity, with a light texture framing flavors of red cherries, cola, rhubarb and pepper. Drink now.

Here’s a Pinot that’s so beautiful and beguiling, it’s perfect to drink right away. Feels delicate and silky, with lush flavors of cherries, cotton candy, bacon, sassafras, orange peel and dusty Asian spices.

The most full-bodied of Sojourn’s new Pinot Noirs, a rich, thick wine of Grenache-like proportions. Although it’s delicious now in cherries, red currants, licorice, cocoa and sandalwood, it’s a bit heavy and tannic. Could emerge like a butterfly from this cocoon sometime after mid-2010.

Dry, tannic and tart, with an earthiness to the blackberries and cherries. Feels a bit rustic in the tannin structure. Ready now.

A bit hot, with a chile pepper burn to the cherry, Porty-raisin flavors. Tastes like the grapes got sunburned.

A very nice Pinot Noir that’s likeable for its silky texture, crisp acidity and cherry, raspberry and Dr. Pepper cola flavors, with a long, spicy finish. Seems at its best now, so drink up.

Good and complex in cherry, raspberry, orange zest and vanilla oak flavors that finish deep and long in a dusty swirl of Indian spices. A very nice Pinot Noir, although it’s pretty sharp in zingy acidity. Give it a few hours of decanting before serving.

A beautiful Pinot Noir notable for the purity of its structure. Shows really polished tannins and crisp coastal acidity, as well as a fine coating of smoky oak. It all frames flavors of cherries and raspberries. Could be a little more concentrated, but it’s a pretty wine.

High in acidity, with a nice silky texture and bone dry. It’s a very good wine, but despite some modest cherry, raspberry and licorice flavors, it lacks richness, particularly at this price.
