  Stunning! See my 2/11/23 review. No change, indeed, perhaps better. Well done, Sojourn

  Wow, and I mean WOW! I'm not sure that this wine could taste much better. It has a deep, ruby red and pure color. On the nose, you get, in equal parts, "Sonoma big" red fruit, but then there's also almost the aroma of walking in a redwood forest right after it has rained for a couple of days. The fullness of the taste is quite amazing given that this wine is five years out from vintage. Strawberry is there, the oak treatment is playing in the background, and there are some nicely mature tannins. Cali wines get a bad rap for not aging well. This wine puts that to rest. The nice thing about it is that there is absolutely no reason to rush on the bottles we still have in our cellar. There is a reason that I believe Riddle has perhaps become a second flagship wine for Sojourn, right along side Sangiacomo. Thank you to everyone at Sojourn.

  PnP. Honestly was better the second day and slightly chilled. I always find Sojourn better with food. They are a little bolder and a little less feminine and are so well complimented by food.

  Mature fruit- blackberry, cherry, currants? Opened quickly . Three of us consumed, all said “so good!”

  Decanted for 30 minutes. Not as good as the 2016, but still a very nice pinot with lots of red fruit--cherry and strawberry. One of my favorite Sojourn pinots.
