2016 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2016 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Our flagship wine since 2006, the 2016 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir once again reflects the Sangiacomo family’s commitment to meticulous farming, their calling card for three generations. This vintage offers significant depth and concentration with classic Pinot noir flavors and notes of forest floor and earth coming from the expressive Swan clone. The vineyard is situated on Roberts Road at the western base of Sonoma Mountain. Cool ocean breezes and fog of the Petaluma Gap allow for long hang times and complex flavor development. The moderate climate of 2016 allowed the grapes to reach optimal maturity while retaining their natural acidity.

International Wine Report
"Sourced from the Sangiacomo vineyard situated in the Petaluma Gap, this Pinot Noir opens with a bouquet of red cherry preserves along with dill and tea berry. Lithe and rich, the wine yields downright delicious red fruit flavors with nice tension. This is a delight right now." - Dr. Owen Bargreen, International Wine Report

Wine Enthusiast
"Earthy compost aromas and notions of forest floor tease the nose of this wine, which shows high-toned spiky acidity underneath strawberry, cranberry and rhubarb flavors. It is full bodied and concentrated in ripeness." - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast
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.
