A gem. Balanced fruit, stone and roasted herb nose. Forward black cherry with a solid acidic structure is just right on palate. Earlier review mentioned clove and tea and they are totally right, it's all wrapped together nicely
My first of the '21 Rodgers Creek....pnp'd and enjoyed over about 5 hours pre and post dinner. Medium ruby in the glass, not quite opaque.
Immediately recognizable Sojourn nose given the vanilla/spicy clove of their barrel treatment. Red fruited nose, maybe some sweet mint, too. Each glass poured did best when it rose to room temp and had about 1 good hour of air. It really settled in, with each glass. Soft black tea accompanying the strawberry/cherry fruit. Surely this will go quite a while given the great acidic backbone but it's so very nice now with an hour of air.....great qpr at about $44/bottle.

Classic Sojourn. Abundant balanced fruit with a smooth zest. Great finish. Should be good for a number of years.
