2021 Sojourn Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ML

2021 Sojourn Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ML “This Pinot Noir is always one of favorites coming out of the Sonoma Coast, and the Sojourn Pinot Noir Gaps Crown 2021 is another beautiful example. A shimmering ruby-garnet core with a blueish rim in the glass, is assembles bountiful notes of dark cherry compote, fresh black raspberry, spiced blue plum skin, brown mushroom, salty sea breeze, liquid chocolate and hints of dried lemongrass. Complex, engaging, and downright delicious, this should be a wine that everyone should seek out to try.” IWR

I discovered these wines when  I attended the “Sonoma In The City Tasting” in Manhattan. The best of the best were there of California’s finest Pinot Noirs from Kosta Browne to William Selyem. The Pinot Noirs from Sojourn stole the show. The wines are extremely sought after and very hard to get. Today’s Pinot Noir is a great Pinot Noir, what’s in the bottle, where it comes from and the vintage it’s made from. I have secured a small amount of the fantastic 2021 Sojourn Pinot Noir Gaps Crown Vineyard to offer you, received a massive 97pts by IWC.  The Pinot Noirs from Gaps Crown are exceptional. The vineyard is located in the cool and windy Petaluma Gap, with twenty top Pinot Producers making wine from the vineyard including Sojourn, Patz and Hall and Kosta Browne. The vineyard was recently purchased by stand-out businessman Bill Price who owns Kosta Browne, making it the most expensive Pinot Noir acreage in the USA. Gap’s Crown is a Grand Cru caliber vineyard.

Sojourn has earned the highest aggregate rating for California Pinot Noir on CellarTracker that any other producer which is Huuuuuge! The #2 finisher was Kosta Browne. Wines are made by Randy Bennet, interning with Thomas Brown and Mike Smith, while making wine for several labels including Nicholson Ranch. The wine has the brilliant California fruit concentration but also displays great balance, purity, complexity, intricate layering of flavors and glorious length. 2021 is a great vintage for Pinot Noir, 96pts by Wine Spectator, only downside was low yields. This wine will blow your mind as it has done mine.
