2019 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2019 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Our flagship wine since 2004, the Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot noir is a robust wine, with bold flavors and an exceptional creamy texture. The vineyard is located on Roberts Road at the western base of Sonoma Mountain. The lack of major heat waves and virtually no rain during harvest allowed us to pick each vineyard block at optimal ripeness. This 2019 vintage stopped our winemakers in their tracks at a recent tasting. “WOW, that’s really good and shows the best characteristics of Sangiacomo. The new Mt. Eden block is taking the blend to another level,” described winemaker Randy Bennett. The wine offers classic Pinot noir aromas, berry flavors and a touch of forest floor.

"This dense red is filled with well-structured dark berry, dried blueberry and cherry flavors that show juicy and loamy richness, with hints of fresh-ground coffee bean. The sumptuous finish is long and focused, with Asian spice overtones." - Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator

"From a site impacted by the cool winds of the Petaluma Gap, this red is gamy and feral in nature, with an enduring earthiness of forest and tea. Smooth in texture, it offers power and graceful intensity that linger on the palate in a length of spice." - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast

"Sourced from six different vineyard blocks, this shows pretty red rose florals with red currants, red cherry puree and shades of damp earth on the nose. The freshness and sense of texture is really good as bright red fruits and citrus rind accents dance with minerals and smoky undertones on the palate. Complex and delicious to be consumed in its youth, this will only get better with age. " - Owen Bargreen
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.
