2019 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
2019 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
The 2019 vintage proved to be an excellent one for Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. The lack of major heat waves and virtually no rain during harvest allowed us to pick every vineyard block at optimal ripeness. Our 2019 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay benefited greatly from these conditions, in addition to the careful stewardship of the land by the Sangiacomo family. Tight cluster formations and small berries resulted in wines with intensity that rivals recent vintages. The finished wine is fresh and lively. It is fruit forward with bright acidity, stone fruit, citrus and apple flavors that leave your mouth watering.

"Aged in 30% new French oak before bottling, this shows off a soft and seamless texture with ripe orchard fruits and lemon zest with Challah bread tones on the palate. The length here is impressive as this beautiful wine will cellar well over the next eight years." - 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.
