Sojourn 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Spring Mountain)
- $59
Better known for Pinot Noir, Sojourn is coming on strong in Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a very fine wine. It’s firm in tannins and bright in acidity, with an amazingly concentrated core of blackberries, black currants and minerals. Really impresses for the tension between sheer power and classy elegance. Should age, too. Drink now–2020.

Sojourn 2009 Proprietary Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $95
This is marked by intense flavors of blackberry, cherry and currant, with sweet smoky oak, firm, furry tannins and brisk acidity. All of these elements jostle for position, making the wine currently aggressive and unresolved. However, the suggestion of ageability is warranted. Put it to sleep in your cellar for six years and see how it’s doing. It could be fine in 2020.

Sojourn 2009 Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $95
This will impress red wine lovers with its sheer deliciousness. It offers waves of blackberry and blueberry jam, dark chocolate, anise and cedar wood flavors, leading to a long, spicy finish. It’s a bit soft, which might limit ageability, but it is a lovely wine to drink over the next few years.

Sojourn 2008 Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
A beautiful Pinot Noir notable for the purity of its structure. Shows really polished tannins and crisp coastal acidity, as well as a fine coating of smoky oak. It all frames flavors of cherries and raspberries. Could be a little more concentrated, but it’s a pretty wine.

Sojourn 2010 Wohler Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
This is Sojourn’s most successful 2010 Pinot Noir, because it’s the ripest and most satisfying. It shows rich, tantalizing raspberry, cherry and cola flavors that are brightened by brisk acidity. It earns extra points for its complexity.

Sojourn 2007 Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $48
The most full-bodied of Sojourn’s new Pinot Noirs, a rich, thick wine of Grenache-like proportions. Although it’s delicious now in cherries, red currants, licorice, cocoa and sandalwood, it’s a bit heavy and tannic. Could emerge like a butterfly from this cocoon sometime after mid-2010.

Sojourn 2008 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
Good and complex in cherry, raspberry, orange zest and vanilla oak flavors that finish deep and long in a dusty swirl of Indian spices. A very nice Pinot Noir, although it’s pretty sharp in zingy acidity. Give it a few hours of decanting before serving.
