Wine Review: This slightly opaque and dark ruby colored Gap's Crown Pinot Noir opens with a black raspberry and toasted oak bouquet with hints of anise, cedar, and oregano. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, soft, and silky smooth. The flavor profile is lingonberry, cedar, and rhubarb blend with notes of loam. We also detected hints of pomegranate, black tea, and dried herbs. The finish is dry and moderate dusty tannins and flavors are nicely extended. The Tasting Panel would pair this Pinot from Sojourn with a pork tenderloin or smoked brisket. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Yields were lower than average in 2021, with small berries and loose clusters creating wines of increased depth and concentration. In 2021 we blended destemmed clone 115 and clone 667, while fermenting all the clone 828 100% whole-cluster. The resulting wine, our fifteenth vintage of Pinot Noir from Gap's Crown Vineyard, offers complex layers of elegant fruit flavors with a bold strength at its core.
