- 2022 Sojourn Pinot Noir Sangiacomo Vineyard – USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (2/27/2025)
Day 1: Very nice wine for under $35. Floral, earth, spice, soy, ripe strawberries and minerals. Medium finish. 91 points
Day 2: Compared to the Nightwing and Rodgers this is the lightest of the 3. Burnt toast, floral, soy, earth, minerals, strawberries, sour cherry and dust. Not a bad wine but nothing to go more please. 91 points
Day 3: Well this wine clearly needs some time in the cellar. By far the best showing of the 3 days. Bright fruit showing through now with strawberries, raspberries and sour cherry. Spice, soy, floral, minerals and earth. Medium plus finish. 93 points
Recommendation: 4 hour decant if trying young or cellar for 5 plus years (93 points) - 2022 Sojourn Pinot Noir Rodgers Creek Vineyard Sonoma Coast – USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (2/11/2025)
Day 1: While this will not be everyone’s style for Pinot (Burg Lovers will hate it) it is very well made and not a chemical infused fruit bomb that is Belle Glos. This is a fruit forward wine featuring strawberries, raspberries and Bing cherry. Spice, floral, a touch of pepper and minerals. Medium plus finish. Excellent value delivered to my door for $32.99 from WTSO. 92 points
Dau 2: Consistent with day one with the fruit forward style but not over the top. Spice, rose petals, cracked pepper, dust and minerals. Medium plus finish. Very fruit forward wine but I like it. 92 points
Day 3: Very nice again. Little less intense on the fruit and aging these will settle that down. Nice earth, dust, minerals, floral and pepper. Medium finish. 92 points
Recommendation: $32.99 on WTSO with free shipping hello.

Day 1: Agree with the other assessment of this wine. It is young and not fully showing its true potential. The Rodgers is just drink now and enjoy while this does need time, and we will see how it evolves over 3 days. Cranberry, dust, twigs, unripe strawberries and floral notes. Very delicate wine overall and short to medium finish. Nice acidity. More elegant than the Rodgers for sure. 90 points
Day 2: This has improved and showing nice acidity along with sour cherry, cranberry, dust, spice, minerals, dried flowers, twigs and unripe strawberries. This has a really nice, lingering finish. Very stylish wine and really like where this is going on day 2 and probably down the road. 92 points
Day 3: This wine has a lot of potential over the next decade. A true improvement over 3 days. Sour cherry, strawberries, dust, rose petals, spice, cranberry, dried flowers, soy and minerals. A very savory wine and nice acidity. Medium plus finish. Excellent value. 93 points
Recommendation: WTSO $36.99! (93 points)
