2012 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2012 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
The 2012 Pinot noir growing season was defined by good yields and ideal weather. Fantastic farming by the Sangiacomo Family ensured that our crop was in the best possible condition on pick day, resulting in a concentrated and luxurious wine. Dedicated work in the vineyard meant extended hang-time to provide smooth tannins and balanced structure alongside vibrant fruit and complex characters. 2012 is a fantastic Pinot noir vintage and we are especially proud of our 2012 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot noir.

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.
