The 2017 Pinot Noir Wohler Vineyard, aged in 50% new French oak, is pale ruby in color. The nose opens with touches of tar and woodsmoke over Cran-Apple and pomegranate with an earthy undercurrent. It’s light-bodied, fresh, bright and lifted, with understated fruit and a juicy finish. 575 cases produced.

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Wohler Vineyard is redolent of warm cranberries, raspberry tart and kirsch with nuances of dried lavender, tilled black soil, rose hips, black tea and mossy bark. Medium to full-bodied, the red berry and earthy layers burst in the mouth, emitting bags of energy, supported by soft, finely grained tannins and a lively line of freshness, finishing with an invigorating herbal lift.

Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir Wohler Vineyard has some tar and charcoal notes over a core of mulberries and red plums plus a touch of fungi. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a generous amount of plummy fruit and chewy tannins, though perhaps lacks some of the presence and sophistication of some of the other Sojourn vineyards in 2015.

I tasted three Pinot Noirs from Sojourn. The 2014 Pinot Noir Wohler Vineyard comes from a vineyard in the heart of the Russian River planted with Dijon clones 667, 115, 828, and of course, the W?denswil clone, which in California is called 2A. Lovely black and red currant fruit, some cherries, delicate spice box and earth are all present in this medium ruby-colored wine, which cuts a broad swath across the palate. The acidity is present, the tannins ripe, and the wine generous, round and juicy. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
