  November 14, 2020 - WOW, and I mean WOW! I recently ordered several bottles of the 2012 as a "library wine" from Sojourn (it was the only vintage of Ridgetop since its inception that I had missed adding to our cellar). This wine was outstanding. Everything is in order. Pretty cool that with a Cali wine that's eight years out from vintage, it was still giving off that classic forest floor funk, but in sort of an elegant way. Beautiful and deep ruby red. On taste the robust red fruit flavors were at the forefront, with savory flavors and acidity all around and supporting the richness. There's a reason I purchase so much Sojourn: I believe they are the best producer of pinot noir in California. Many thanks to Craig and Erich, and the rest of the Sojourn team. Cheers!

  April 11, 2020 - Deep red, hints of purple. Brooding, earthy reveals some ripe cherry hints of bramble, some spice and a whiff of leather. Tannins integrated and drinking nicely now.

  November 29, 2019 - Nose is herbal, floral with a hint of smoke. Ripe black cherry dominates the palate along with some orange orange peel. Sweet fruit which I’m guessing was bigger a few years back. Medium + bodied. Shows a nice beam of acidity ruining through it.

  November 26, 2019 - Served with salmon baked over orange and fennel; the Sojourn Ridgetop is my go to pinot with this dish; the 2012 is more subdued than the other vintages by Sojourn from Ridgetop. Muted cherry, notes of blood orange, sage, with a touch of earthiness. Had the 2014 Ridgetop this same evening, and thought the 2014 was richer, bigger, fuller and fruitier.
