Mission Codename RULES
Ready? Set? GO!
It’s a Sojourn Store Takeover!
Sojourn Cellars is a Wine Spectator Top 100 winery and home of California’s top-rated Pinot Noir of the year
At 94 and 95 points this Single Vineyard Pinot from Sojourn was such a hit last time, we begged them for more. They eventually agreed to open their cellar so we can offer not just this exemplar, but their OTHER GREAT WINES in our store, today only!
The catch? It’s all they have left of the vintage. It’s going to go FAST!
Sojourn’s Wines are highly prized, and this one is no different. 94 Points from Wine Enthusiast AND 95 from International Wine Report. If lush, powerful, gutsy Pinots get your heart racing you NEED to score a few of these.
Reuling Vineyard, located between Graton and Forestville in the heart of Sonoma Coast, is small and focused on quality. Not far from Kistler, it was originally sought out and planted with Mark Aubert as a source for Peter Michael. They make their own wine and release fruit to a VERY select few producers like Aubert and Arista.
At 51% OFF retail pricing, it’s a mere FRACTION of what Reuling Pinot usually costs!
Sojourn co-founder and Director of Winemaking Erich Bradley has quietly been gathering a reputation for brilliance with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. He got his start at Arrowood and went on to make wine for Hop Kiln as well as Audelssa in Glen Ellen and Ojai Mountain Estate. He credits both Richard Arrowood and David Ramey as his mentors. We don’t have to tell you; they are Chardonnay and Pinot Noir LEGENDS! Also, his right hand for the vintage, Randy Bennett, cut his teeth working with Thomas Rivers-Brown and Mike Smith in the caves of Nicholson Ranch where they made Schrader Cellars, Rivers-Marie, Myriad Cellars, Tamber Bey, and (of course) Nicholson Ranch.
This wine is lush, fruit forward and simply beautiful. Medium-plus in body and well structured around velvety smooth tannins, flavors of cherry cola, strawberries, raspberry licorice, herbs de Provence and fresh forest floor. This is one for the cellar for sure. The brilliant acidity and pronounced tones will only integrate more over the years. Do “future you” a favor and buy a case!
Never seen discounted (except here!) so you better act fast because you won’t see this one again.
And be sure to knab some of their OTHER STEALS while they last. There are only so many bottles - SELLOUT? GUARANTEED!
95 Points – International Wine Report “With a gorgeous bright ruby core with a glimmering neon light pink rim, the 2022 Reuling Pinot Noir from Sojourn offers up a fruit-forward style filled with aromas of sliced strawberries, candied Bing cherries, wet clay, cedary herbs, and vanilla bean. Medium-bodied with great purity, impressive balance, and plush tannins, it ends with a red-fruit and white pepper finish. Drink 2024-2030.”
94 Points—Wine Enthusiast “Plush and complex, this Pinot gives layers of roasted cherry, zingy raspberry, sage and cola-spice aromas on the nose. The palate is similarly complex, with flavors of deep, concentrated Bing cherry and raspberry alongside Darjeeling tea, lilacs and tangerine peel.”
