The Sojourn Cellars Proprietary Cuvée is our optimal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from renowned Napa Valley hillside and valley floor vineyards. We produce a Proprietary Cuvée only in vintages when we can create a blend of exceptional quality and aging potential. The 2013 vintage provided idyllic weather conditions in Napa Valley. This wine features two exclusive vineyards: famed Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III in Rutherford and the exclusive hillside Oakville Ranch Vineyard in Oakville. 2013 was our second vintage blending component wines from Oakville Ranch with the valley-floor Vineyard Georges III. The higher acid structure and dark fruit character of Oakville Ranch marries exquisitely with the lush body and red Rutherford dust of Vineyard Georges III. This wine is balanced and impressive, oozing with gorgeous red and dark fruit aromas that lead to flavors of dark cherry, earth and mouth-watering chocolate. This vintage is truly exceptional. Enjoy now or sock it away to enjoy for years to come.

Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III
Rutherford, Napa Valley
Sojourn is honored to source fruit from Beckstoffer Vineyard Georges III, a famed property developed by winemaking pioneer Georges de Latour in 1928 and cultivated by the legendary Andre Tschelistcheff.
Oakville Ranch Vineyard
Oakville, Napa Valley
At 1,000 to 1,400 feet above sea level, the Oakville Ranch Vineyard looks west over Napa Valley. This high elevation and western exposure, in combination with soils of clay over volcanic rock, produce the rich, powerfully structured wines that make the vineyard one of the most sought-after in California for Cabernet Sauvignon.
