Note di degustazione
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Vineyard is beautiful stuff, offering a classic high-end Cabernet perfume of pure crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, leather, smoked tobacco, and loamy earth. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon revealing a supple, layered, rich yet also weightless texture, ripe tannins, and a gorgeous finish. This beauty isn't massive or over the top, yet it builds beautifully with time in the glass, has terrific structure, and is a gem of a wine that will evolve for 20-25 years if well stored.

It's easy to think of the Oakville AVA as being just the valley floor, but it extends well up into the Vaca Range on Napa's eastern side. Sojourn's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Vineyard comes from a site approximately 1,400 feet above sea level and is a mix of Clones 4, 169 and 337 (plus 4% Petit Verdot), all aged in 75% new French oak. Scents of crushed stone, black cherries and blackberries appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is firmly structured and streamlined, framed by silky tannins that linger on the cool, slightly menthol-tinged finish. It makes a harmonious overall impression, albeit a very youthful one, with time to grow into a potentially outstanding wine. Unfortunately, production is only 150 cases.
