2019 Sojourn Riddle Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

14.4% alc., pH 3.63, TA 0.55, 400 cases, $59. Release in August 2021. Pommard and Mt. Eden clones form the base of this wine. Aged in 50% new French oak barrels. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. A little coaxing is necessary to release the aromas of cherry, blueberry and clay. A middleweight core of dark cherry and strawberry fruit flavors make an impression. There is a bit of savory spice and earthiness as well. Nicely balanced with a good beam of acidity, a long finish and only a hint of oak. Score: 93. Reviewed June 13, 2021
