Sojourn

Hirsch Vineyards

San Andreas Fault Pinot Noir 2014

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

Lean and rhubarb tart; herbs de Provence with mint leaves and bay leaf. Cranberry notes are underripe and acidity is sharp. I last had this wine about 2 years ago, and thought it showed more fruit...then again, this Pinot was surrounded by the likes of Kosta Browne’s, so surroundings could have played a factor. As always, I enjoyed this. Thanks @Weston Eidson

Côtes du Rhône Rosé Blend

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).
