2014 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
2014 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
The 2014 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot noir is one of the most complex and layered vintages of this wine that we have produced. It is deep, with lush, creamy texture and aromas and flavors of red fruit, earth, and hints of forest floor. The vineyard is situated on Roberts Road at the western base of Sonoma Mountain. We source fruit from six distinct blocks, with each one adding a layer of texture and flavor nuance. Climate is key to this vineyard’s ability to produce noteworthy Pinot noir. Cool ocean breezes and the legendary Petaluma Gap fog keep the heat in check. The 2014 growing season began very early with winter drought conditions leading to early bud break and one of the earliest harvests on record. The resulting wine is spectacular!

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.
