Journeyman

Sonoma Chardonnay and Pinot Noir rated by Wine Enthusiast and Decanter.

Journeyman produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Sonoma County in California's North Coast. The Chardonnay, rated 93 points by prestige critics including Wine Enthusiast and Decanter, represents the winery's work with this classic varietal. The Pinot Noir, rated 92 points by the same critics, demonstrates the region's capacity for elegant, structured reds. Sonoma County's cool coastal influences and varied microclimates support both varieties—Chardonnay thrives in the region's well-drained soils and moderate temperatures, while Pinot Noir benefits from the diurnal temperature swings that build complexity and acidity. The winery's focus on these two grapes reflects a disciplined approach to quality winemaking in one of California's most versatile growing regions.
