Well, it was bound to happen. I finally had a bottle that I didn't enjoy. Sojourn makes up 12% of my cellar, and is one of my favorite producers. The wine was a pretty clear 'Oregon red' color. Some mild cherry fruit. This was a smooth wine, but the acid ruined the bottle. I guess I have to chalk this one up. Over the course of 90 minutes, the wine remained the same. Dinner with Raelin and Jeff.

Decanted 1 hour and rebottled. Consistent with previous TN, maybe a touch more weight and austerity on the palate. Medium bodied with nice red cherry fruit and a smooth texture. Notes of smoke, spice and caramel. Medium plus finish. May have been slightly better with a longer decant. Drinking very nicely. No need to rush with this.

Decanted 2 hours and rebottled. Nose of red berries , flowers and a little earthiness. Nice clean, well focused red cherry fruit on the palate with a touch of sweetness. Some notes of spice, smoke and caramel. Very nice complexity to this wine as it moves across the palate. 25 second finish with moderate tannins and a little spice. This seems to be in a really good spot right now but will no doubt drink well for several years more. Excellent Pinot.

Excellent new world Pinot, not too transparent in the glass, nose of bacon and toffee, bursting with dark red "grilled" fruits. The smokiness is very nice with our Indian Summer steak au poivre and grilled squash

Sweeter. Red fruits, almost tart. A little root beer. Woody elements. LIghter bodied (slightly). As it swirls, a little tree sap. Slightly floral.

Nice cherry flavor. Touch of spice on the nose. God tannins and nice crispness.
