Aging in 50% new French oak barrels this Riddle Vineyard Pinot Noir contains more black cherry, grilled red plum, ground herbs, and violet flowers. The best Sojourn Pinot Noir from my tasting, it displays incredible balance, fruit that is not overpowering and produces herbal and savory components that are all in check. Medium-high acidity, rounded tannins, and a lengthy finish make way to the flavors of red currant, ripe red cherry, dried poultry herbs, and a hint of black tea. Only 300 cases produced. This one has the stuff to cellar for 15 years or more. Highly recommended.
