Decanted for 3 hours, classic Howell Mountain color and balance. 2008 was the last year Sojourn had a Howell Mountain wine. It is my favorite of all the Sojourn wines I have had. It was perfectly open with great structure and color; dark fruits and cedar with a the typical Howell Mountain hint of sweetness on the finish. I have one more. It won't get any better so will drink within the next 12 months. Paired very well with Denver Steaks grilled over cherry wood.

Excellent Expression of Howell mountain. Shocked at how integrated the tannins are at such a young age. Lots of blueberry. Reminds me of some of the best 04 vintage cabs from Napa.

In its prime right now. Full bodied with black fruit. Integrated tannins with a fair amount of sediment. Great wine for the price.

Tasting more like a Paso Cab. Soft blackberry fruit with balanced acidity and soft, but lengthy finish.
