Winemaker Erich Bradley reveals the stories behind this coveted Sojourn Cellars wine, vineyard, and tasting salon. (97 points Pinot Report, 94 points Wine Spectator, 91+ points Robert Parker)
Our 2009 Russian River Valley Pinot noir is a blend of two vineyards and again offers a beautiful expression of the varietal and the cool climate and loamy soils it excels in. Pinot noir clone 115 from Suacci Vineyard along the southern border of the Russian River Valley AVA provides a core of fine-grained tannins and bright aromatics. Situated further north, clones 115 and 667 from Sapphire Hill vineyard add body, lush textures, and darker flavor components. The resulting blend has a firm balanced structure with multiple layers of fruit and earth.
