Community Tasting Note

kennyd Likes this wine:

Thursday, July 4, 2013 - The Ridgetop is what I conisder to be the more complex, cerebral member of the Sojourn pinot family. This one is closer to a burgundy. Deep ruby in color. With time in glass, it morphs from a red fruit bouquet to then also presenting the panoply of herbal and forest floor aromas of a classic burgundy. The taste is full and lingering. Needed time to get to the point where I was tasting everything that I was smelling. When it got there, it was really nice, but I would still say not as explosive as some of the other Sojourn pinots. You have to like this more subtle, elegant if you will, taste profile. I was questioning whether to bring this with us to Ravinia, but I wanted to taste where it was in its evolution. I got my answer: really good, but will wait 12-18 months on next bottle. This is characteristic of the Ridgetops: they very much benefit from a little more extended time in cellar. BTW right on the edge of a 93, and could move up to 94-95.
