2009 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2009 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Like previous vintages, the 2009 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot noir has a rich, dark fruit profile and a luscious, creamy texture. However, the 2009 vintage is enhanced with additional layers of complex earth and forest floor reflecting our blending of Pinot noir clones Swan and Pommard with our traditional blocks of clones 115 and 777. We are thrilled with how well these additional blocks integrate into our flagship Pinot noir from the Sangiacomo Vineyard.

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.
