2021 Purcari Rară Neagră Nocturne
10/7/2023 - JHall106 Likes this wine: 90 Points
Complex aromas with notes of strawberry licorice, lavender sachet, and crushed mint. On the palate, mostly ripe red fruit flavors with hints of cassis. The wine is balanced and smooth with good tannic expression and moderate acidity. The finish is long and very dry.

2017 Sojourn Pinot Noir Walala Vineyard Sonoma Coast
11/4/2021 - JHall106 Likes this wine: 94 Points
To my mind this vineyard produces fruit as good as, if not better than, the celebrated Gap’s Crown Vineyard. This vintage’s offering was rich and deep, with fully ripened red fruits and hints of black plum. Elegant and finessed, the wine is as delightful to smell as it is to drink. Inviting aromas of fresh strawberries, violets, pipe tobacco, baking spice, pine resin, and peeled birch tree bark envelop the nose and many carry to the palate. Well balanced, smooth and palate-coating. Served with Thai spicy noodles.

2019 Sojourn Pinot Noir Sangiacomo Vineyard
6/1/2021 - JHall106 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Fragrant raspberry and violet with hints of eucalyptus and tea tree oil on the nose. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, balanced and smooth with a core of ripe red bramble fruits and touches of strawberry and red currant. The tannins are fine-grained, the oak is well integrated, and the mineral-driven acidity brightens the significant fruit flavors. This gives the recent 97-point Gap’s Crown Vineyard a run for its money.
