Showing beautifully! Consistent deep ruby hue...a bit darker than prototypical Pinot. Nose of raspberry and lanolin. Palate of black plum, hints of menthol and tar, Light vanilla. Rich and round mouthfeel. Medium + lengthed finish with just a faint alcohol note. I’d easily trust this to lay down for another 3 years.

Tasty but tired. This looked and tasted much older than a 2009, possibly due to extended shelf time at Total Wine. Cherry and cola notes gave way to a bit of raisin on the finish.

Very big pinot. This finally started opening up after several hours. Surprising strong acidity for a pinot this fruit forward. Lots of cherry and cola, with an undercurrent of spice. As big as it was, I wouldn't say it was full throttle.

We are thrilled with the 2011 vintage of this wine. We blended together individually fermented lots from our three core blocks comprised of Pinot noir clones 115, 828, and 667. Each clone adds uniquely complex flavors, richness, and a myriad of velvety color elements. The 828 was fermented partially with stems included, providing additional verve and structure. Dark cherry and boysenberry aromas lead to hints of baking spice, chocolate, and thyme. This is a complex wine that makes a stunning first impression with explosive aromatics, plush textures, and excellent structure. 800 cases produced

Mix of red and dark fruit, muted tannins and very smooth. Medium bodied. Bought it from Sojourn this fall and it clearly was stored properly.

Properly stored and showing beautifully. Complex, with appealing savory notes and bright red fruit.

Plum red. Complex. Plums, berries. Forest floor, herbs, and earth express the terroir.

Cork crumbled. Pushed it in and strained. Wine was clearly flawed and undrinkable.

Alot going on here. Very big pinot. Opened up after an hour. Complex and long lasting. Last bottle. Can't say enough of Sojourn and Pinots.

A great wine with fresh sausage, salami, brick oven pizza. This wine is complex with many different things going on. I recommend buying!

Not great! Maybe because we bought this at Total Wine and was not stored well. It was a bit muddy and very acidic and a bit bland.

Fabulous Pinot. Intriguing nose of cherry and cedar. Very well balanced between fruit and acidity. Nice finish. Wish I had more.

Lighter than the Rodgers Creek or Gap's Crown. Bright acidity, finesse, lighter on the fruit.

Tasted at winery. The most acid driven compared to '09 Rodgers Creek and '09 Gap's Crown; black cherry, earthy; creamy mouthfeel, lightly oaked
