2015 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast

2015 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast

Our Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay is produced from the same vineyard as our highly rated Pinot noir. 2015 resulted in the best vintage of Chardonnay in the Sonoma Coast region so far for this decade, and this bottling offers a fabulous expression of the varietal and vineyard site. Small clusters and low yields provided concentrated flavors, great acidity and length. We sourced fruit from three distinct blocks in 2015, headlined by Old Wente clone vines. This is a serious Chardonnay with distinctive aromas of citrus, pear, fig and hints of créme brulée. This leads to rich flavors and layers of texture, while natural acidity gives the wine length and depth. The grapes were pressed whole-cluster and fermented in French oak barrels utilizing 30% new oak.

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.
