Winemaker Notes
Vintage 2019 offers some great news: We have examples of 2019 Pinot Noir’s from all our stellar vineyards and they are impressive.  A beautiful balance was achieved leaning towards cooler vintage drinking wines with bright acidity, focus and elegance, but with some core ripe fruit mixed in.  It’s no secret I prefer wines from cooler growing seasons, but the one downside to those wines is that they often need a few months to a year for the mid-palate to plump up and gain some wait.  Not the 2019’s.  Beautiful elegance combines with an instantly gratifying mid-palate.  I think these may be very long-term aging wines as well.
With a more restrained nose the Sojeau bottling needs a bit of time at this stage to show all it’s complexity.  However, the mid-palate is unctuous and packed with red and black berries showing heft and elegance.
