94 International Wine Report

The 2022 Sojourn Cellars Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon, composed of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot, reveals a deep garnet-purple color. Aromas of black currant, crushed blue plum, and dark cherry mingle with subtle tones of mocha, dried bay leaf, and sandalwood from aging in 70% new French oak. The palate is plush and layered, unfolding with flavors of blackberry liqueur, cassis, and cocoa framed by velvety tannins and lively acidity. A touch of graphite and savory spice adds dimension as the wine flows toward a long, polished finish.
