Winemaker Notes
This blend of our generous and supple 2018 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is dominated by Oakville Ranch Vineyard. Located in the hills among famous neighbors Dalla Valle, Pedregal and Backus vineyards, Oakville Ranch produces powerful, rich, structured wines. Cabernet Sauvignon wines made from two other vineyards along Skellenger Lane were blended in to add expressive fruit character and lush tannins. Each component of this blend spent four weeks fermenting on skins to ensure that the tannins and fruit flavors were balanced. The resulting wine is rich and vibrant, offering vivid flavors of blackberry, raspberry, cassis and mocha.
Sojourn Cellars

We source fruit from celebrated vineyards in both Sonoma and Napa counties, where we work closely with vineyard owners who use world-class growing methods for cultivating grapes of the highest quality. Our hands-off winemaking style allows the character and personality of these special vineyard sites to shine through in the finished wines.

94 POINTS Wine Enthusiast
This is a blend from the great Oakville Ranch and two other sites on the valley floor, marrying together bright lush opulence in texture. Firm tannins grip a full-bodied profile of red currant, cherry and cassis, finishing in dr tobacco.
93 POINTS Wine Spectator
Ripe, rich and focused, with a well-built core of dark currant, fig and blackberry paste flavors that drive along racy graphite underpinning. This has some showy toast, but there's a tug of loam and ample fruit to keep this Molesworth
