Wine Review: This slightly hazy and dark ruby colored Pinot Noir from Sojourn opens with a raspberry and Dr. Pepper bouquet with hints of cedar and spiced black plum. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is very nicely balanced, silky smooth and seamless. The flavor profile is mild craisin and spiced red plum blend with notes of stone dust and gentle red cherry. We also detected hints of tobacco, blueberry, and chocolate. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and its mild tannins drift away nicely. We would pair this polished and graceful Pinot with pork roast or Colorado rack of lamb. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This 2023 vintage wine offers tremendous depth and nuance. Gap’s Crown Vineyard responded well to the cooler weather conditions and matured at an even pace, allowing us to pick each block at optimal maturity. We again fermented the clone 828 block with stems included, adding verve and spice notes to the finished blend. The 2023 vintage has a mix of red cherry and darker berry flavors with baking spice notes. This exceptional vineyard and distinctive volcanic soils delivered a beautiful wine again with the 2023 vintage.
