Sojourn Cellars 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Winemaker Erich Bradley reveals the stories behind this coveted Sojourn Cellars wine, vineyards, and tasting salon. (94 points Pinot Report, 90+ points Robert Parker)

In 2009, for the fifth consecutive year, we produced a Sonoma Coast Pinot noir blended wine. Our 2009 vintage includes nine unique blocks, primarily from vineyards at the southern end of the Sonoma Coast appellation. The Rodgers Creek and Keller Estate vineyards contributed the majority of the grapes used to make this blend. Pinot noir clones 115, 777, 667 and Pommard all add unique elements, creating a complex Pinot noir with a myriad of textures and flavors.

This 2009 Pinot noir is the most concentrated and complex Sonoma Coast blend we have bottled to date. Showing aromas of dark cherry, pomegranate and sweet oak, its textures are lush, yet taught, with a subtle edge of acidity. This wine is drinking well now and will continue to evolve over the next several years. At $39, it represents an incredible value for your wine-buying dollar.
