2011 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

2011 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

The 2011 Pinot noir growing season was defined by historically low yields, a very cool spring, and a series of rainstorms in early October. Aggressive farming and discriminating pick decisions were critical to producing wines of the highest caliber. We ended up not picking several acres of grapes simply because we felt they were not ready. Fewer grapes picked, combined with historically low yields and discriminating blending decisions, resulted in lower case productions for some Sojourn wines. This is particularly true for the 2011 Sangiacomo Pinot noir and we expect it to sell out very quickly.

Sangiacomo Vineyard

Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap

Sangiacomo Vineyard on Roberts Road near Cotati has been Sojourn’s flagship Pinot noir vineyard since 2004. This exceptional site was developed in an old creekbed at the western base of Sonoma Mountain. In summer and fall, cool air and fog from the Pacific Ocean get trapped here, allowing for uncommonly long hangtimes without sacrificing acidity and balance.
