2006 Sojourn Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Monday, December 12, 2011 - Murky and brick-colored throughout with a presence of sugar stewed strawberries on the bouquet, and a nice pine-needle scent. At first, this was rough and difficult to enjoy, showing disjointed and even hot at times. Through the first night it improved, though it still felt more gloppy and unresolved than I recollect from a prior tasting. If you pare out the pieces, you'll find some nice Pinot components with lavender, violet, dark cherry flavors and something reminiscent of Indian spices. I drank the majority of the bottle, the remainder, on night-2. It wasn't any more glorious, but it seemed to present a more heavy-bodied/presence Pinot experience than what I generally lean toward in the Sonoma arena. No major flaws, save for lack of inspiration -- this bottle.
