2020 Ridgetop Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2020 Ridgetop Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Ridgetop Vineyard is located in the remote coastal mountains along the northern Sonoma Coast. The vines produce miniscule yields with concentrated flavors, provocative aromatics, and silky texture as they struggle to grow. One of the fastest wines to sell out each year, this wine offers explosive aromas of red and tropical fruits and burnt orange overlaying a bold strength and complexity at its core. This wine is produced from Dijon clones 777, 667 and 115, which are desired for rich cherry fruit and generous, age worthy tannins.

"The delicious 2020 Sojourn Cellars ‘Ridgetop Vineyard’ Pinot Noir was stored in 50% new French oak prior to bottling. Red cherry and salted strawberry flavors mingle with loamy soils on the palate." - Owen Bargreen
Ridgetop Vineyard
West Sonoma Coast
Located just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean in the town of Annapolis, and sitting at 1,100 feet above sea level, Ridgetop Vineyard is Sojourn’s most coastal vineyard site. The maritime influence effectively moderates high temperatures during summer and fall, while the vineyard’s position on the eastern side of the first coastal ridge protects it from fog.
