Sourced from the famed Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford, this 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous wine from Sojourn and winemaker Erich Bradley. On the nose this takes on some classic Rutherford terroir character, with a distinct dusty earth element, along with crème de cassis, anise and a touch of milk chocolate completeing the lovey aromatics. Showing a fantastic combination of viscosity and tension on the mid-palate, this yields ripe flavors of ripe boysenberry cordial, créme de cassis, black tea and red bell pepper that are enveloped by toasty oak. The 2016 displays serious range, as this shows not only copious dark fruits but a wonderful display of its terroir. Enjoy this beautiful wine over the next two decades.
