1 hour decant, served around 63 F. Light garnet color, no bricking. Pleasant nose of strawberry, sea air and spice. Light bodied, integrated acidity, lush tannins, lengthy finish. Very balanced. Rich tart cherry, vanilla and anise, with earthy undertones. Disappeared way too quickly to see how it might evolve.

Yum. This was just outstanding and well worth the wait. It was the last bottle of our purchase during a private tasting at their Sonoma tasting room in 2013. I opened it 2 hours in advance and did a slow ox, but no decant. It continued to evolve in the glass and there was no bricking. That tells me it could go a few more years with no problem, but it's drinking beautifully right now. Rodgers Creek Vineyard is located on the west side of Sonoma Mtn on the east side of the Petaluma Gap. Served with Quatro Stagione pizza - not really a planned pairing, but it worked!

shared with pat at selkirk manor. i continue to prune the cellar of bottles with expired drink by dates. thought it was time to drink a sojourn as i remain on their list and am tempted to purchase recent vintages. this bottle proved to be in excellent condition. vibrant color. no fading or browning. generous nose. lots of chocolate covered cherry enveloped in fully structured body. nevertheless, the wine seems perfectly mature. will attend to remaining body. will attend to remaining bottle early next winter.
