2021 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
2021 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
In 2021 we re-introduced our previous Green Acres block to this blend from Sangiacomo Vineyard. It was redeveloped a few years ago and is now back to producing exceptional Chardonnay from Old Wente Clone vines. Wine from Green Acres was blended with our Sangiacomo Roberts Road and Vella blocks to create a layered Chardonnay with robust fruit flavors and persistence. Each block was picked at night and immediately pressed whole cluster to retain freshness. The finished wine offers intense aromas and bright acidity with compelling flavors of stone fruit, citrus and apple.

International Wine Report
"Showcasing a golden lemon core with a silvery rim, the 2021 Sangiacomo Chardonnay from Sojourn sees 30% new French oak and approximately 65% malolactic fermentation. As with all of the Sojourn Chardonnays, it’s almost full-bodied, plush on the tongue, and delivers phenomenal purity of fruit on the front and mid-palate. Notes of baked lemon pie, Bartlett pear, lemony herbs, and crushed wet rock are everpresent, with balanced acidity and a dried thyme aspect hitting the lengthy finish." - Jeremy Young, 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.
