This legendary vineyard was originally planted in the late 1800s and rises to 1,750 feet elevation. Often described as “extreme terroir”, it is impressive due to its natural beauty, unique soils, and character of the wines it produces. With 600 acres planted, this is the largest contiguous vineyard in Napa Valley. Stagecoach is a supreme site for growing Cabernet Sauvignon due to the optimal growing conditions provided by its rocky, volcanic, well-draining soils. We made this wine from two premier blocks of Weimer and clone 15 that we ferment separately, then finished with a touch of Petit Verdot. The 2023 vintage is complex and harmonious, abounding with dark fruit and minerality.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Classic cassis and graphite aromas emerge on the nose of Sojourn's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Stagecoach Vineyard, which is primarily Clone 63 (Wiemer) this vintage, as it stood up well to the early September heatwave. It's medium to full-bodied in the mouth, almost creamy in texture, concentrated and yet fresh and lively on the finish. It's a super effort that ends with considerable tannin." - Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"One of the storied sites in the Napa Valley, the Stagecoach Vineyard is set at 1750 feet elevation. Stored in nearly all new French oak, this has just a touch of Petit Verdot blended in. Milk chocolate and espresso bean flavors combine with salty herbs, wet rock and shades of black licorice on the palate. Dense and well-structured, this is drinking beautifully right now." - Owen Bargreen
