2018 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2018 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Our flagship wine since 2004, the 2018 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot noir is robust, while again delivering the creamy mouthfeel for which this wine has long been known. Its high quality reflects the Sangiacomo family’s commitment to meticulous farming, their calling card for three generations. The vineyard is located on Roberts Road at the western base of Sonoma Mountain. This was our last Pinot noir pick in 2018, as cool ocean breezes and fog allowed for long hang time. The wine offers classic Pinot noir aromas, berry flavors and a touch of forest floor.

"Another Sonoma Coast release, the 2018 Pinot Noir Sangiacomo Vineyard was completely destemmed and brought up in 50% new French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Gorgeous wild strawberry and raspberry fruit gives way to more spice, foresty, and sappy flower nuances. Tight, vibrant, and lengthy on the palate, with classic Sonoma Coast minerality, it's beautifully done and will evolve of a decade." - Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2018 ‘Sangiacomo Vineyard’ Pinot Noir was aged for 50% new French oak before bottling. Cran-pomegranate and citrus rind come together with baking spices on the nose. A bright beam of salinity races through the mid-palate, creating gobs of mouth-watering acidity. Gorgeous now, this will evolve well for at least fifteen years." - Dr. Owen Bargreen, International Wine Report
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.
