June 18, 2023 - Finally popped this double magnum at a Flyertalk travel wine dinner at North Square in Greenwich Village. An aged pinot noir is always rewarded. This was a dark color and was singing to the max. A few tannins would suggest you can hold onto this for a while. It was my WOTN. Drank this with a steak over 2 hours. Slow-ox'd for 30 minutes.
February 15, 2021 - Much lighter color than the RRV from the same year that I just finished. Translucent ruby. Nose is floral with graphite and red fruit notes. Plate is full, round and just a bit viscous with darker red fruits, nutmeg and cinnamon. Finish is medium length and integrated throughout.
August 11, 2019 - excellent medium bodied Pinot. Big dark fruit on palate. Smooth tannins. Still a lot of life in it.
July 27, 2019 - This came out of the bottle with power.....great nose and ripe fruit, Burgundian color. Bing cherry, spice..... 9 years and still with seemingly plenty of life & legs left.
July 12, 2019 - Nice.
July 8, 2017 - PnP. On the lighter of the spectrum of Sojourn Pinots. Red fruit with the Ridgetop earthiness.
January 14, 2017 - So good. Matched up perfectly with the classic french food at The Blanchard. Probably shouldn't wait too long on our last bottle, although that's not to say that it's flattening. PNP, and was good over app. 2 hours. The forrest floor was there, and it also translated to the taste. Thank you to Sojourn.
September 23, 2016 - Slow-ox'd for 45 minutes. Dark color. Rich. Wonderful (perfume) nose. Cherry, spice. All the standard Sojourn characteristics. I love my Sojourns with age. I have one bottle left, and will wait until 2017/18 to drink it. That bottle is a double mag.
August 28, 2016 - Winner, winner, this one will go well with a chicken dinner. Wow.
Cherries, spice, dark essence.
April 13, 2016 - See my December 2014 notes. Consistent, although I would add now that I don't think I will/should wait much longer in drinking our last bottle.
