Well, it was bound to happen. I finally had a bottle that I didn't enjoy. Sojourn makes up 12% of my cellar, and is one of my favorite producers. The wine was a pretty clear 'Oregon red' color. Some mild cherry fruit. This was a smooth wine, but the acid ruined the bottle. I guess I have to chalk this one up. Over the course of 90 minutes, the wine remained the same. Dinner with Raelin and Jeff.

Decanted 1 hour and rebottled. Consistent with previous TN, maybe a touch more weight and austerity on the palate. Medium bodied with nice red cherry fruit and a smooth texture. Notes of smoke, spice and caramel. Medium plus finish. May have been slightly better with a longer decant. Drinking very nicely. No need to rush with this.

Sweeter. Red fruits, almost tart. A little root beer. Woody elements. LIghter bodied (slightly). As it swirls, a little tree sap. Slightly floral.
