The lightest but most elegant of the 2010 releases I’ve tasted from Sojourn, this delightful Pinot from the Rodgers Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast could pass for a high-class Volnay or Pommard from the Cotes de Beaune. It shows earthy forest floor aromas with pretty cherry and strawberry aromas, and good grip on the finish. Exceptionally food-friendly, this is a Pinot that should improve over the next three to five years despite its light build.
