1.5 hour decant (just a little cloudy sediment). A thrilling dark purple garnet color. On the nose: blackberry, floral, spice, gravel. Taste: dry, acidic, medium body wine with blackberry, tobacco, cassis, some dusty tannis still there and a cherry cedar medium finish. — 4 years ago

Cantaloupe and lemon combine with Bosc pear and warm apples aromatically. Medium mouthfeel turns complex and heavier, exhibiting grilled lemon, tangerine pith, lemon toast, the taste of vanilla’s aroma, warm yellow apple and magnolia. #chardonnay #Soujourn #sonomachardonnay #sonoma #chard — 6 years ago

Young, even after an hour decant. Compared vs sojourn 2012 from same vineyard, very tart red fruit. Still very solid mouthfeel though — 9 years ago

Excellent. More refined and less concentrated fruit that the Sojourn Pinots that Erich makes, but just as delicious. — 9 years ago

Compared to the 13 Sojourn, this pinot just didn't compare. By far, the 09 KB and the 13 Sojourn outdrank it. Poured a little translucent. The nose was red cherry. Some herb. Finishes rather unidimensional. I think this one will be better in a couple of years. What this one needs is two years of bottle age. Just doesn't have the depth....now. — 6 years ago

2007 vintage. Slight spice and firm but smooth tannins. It's aged well and is probably at its peak. — 9 years ago

Everything that Sonoma Chardonnay should be - full bodied , rich , well balanced , great finish , nicely oaked without being over-the-top buttery... a winner — 4 years ago

Hazelnuts and cordial cherry. AN interesting nose, that seems to grow bolder as it opens.

Top medium to heavy weighted, with red fruit seeds and pithe, dried persimmons, Hawaiian Christmas pepper, astringent tannins, mingled with a long lasting salinity.
A lovely, bold wine, and a wonderful way to celebrate our 7minutes left sojourn from the escape room earlier today. — 4 years ago

Delicious fruit and herbaceous notes. Plenty of acid. Drinking nicely now but glad we have 5 bottles in the cellar to sit on. Going to drink for a long while. @Craig Haserot this is a beauty! — 5 years ago

I haven’t had a French love affair in awhile, but here I find myself again. The sound outside of the “gite” window during the afternoon sojourn of me and “x” Frenchman is one of honey bees flitting from the stamen to stigma of strawberry plants, impregnating rosettes to guarantee me even more days of oenophilic passion. (D, the husband I briefly forgot about, indicates he bought this at Cambridge Wine & Spirits). — 6 years ago

Another dip in to my TX wine journey, but this time with a twist. Spicewood sources fruit from Cali and WA state for a few of their bottles and makes them at the winery. This RRV Pinot is from Wohler Vineyard (I believe Sojourn makes a nice Pinot from here).

Ruby red in the glass. The nose on this is quite spot on. Black cherry, maple-birch wood, and stewed blackberries. Acidity is medium. Fairly light on the front and mid-palate but a LOT of flavor on the backend...strawberry and raspberries preserve, herbal seasoning. This wine benefited from food being paired with it (my wife’s awesome cauliflower crust spinach and chicken pizza in particular). — 6 years ago
