2023 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
2023 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast
Our 2023 Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay is a blend of two unique blocks, each adding layers that combined to create a special wine that is a pleasure to drink now yet will age with grace. Old Wente clone from Green Acres offers rich flavors and concentration while clone 95 from Roberts Road adds focus and intensity. Both blocks were 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
"The 2023 Sojourn Chardonnay from the Sangiacomo Vineyard in Sonoma Coast delivers a vibrant expression of richness and elegance. Its medium lemon-golden hue transitions to a glimmering silver edge, setting the stage for a luxurious experience. The nose reveals intricate layers of freshly sharpened cedar, ripe yellow peaches, and candied lemon peel, rounded out by a subtle whisper of tropical mango. On the palate, the wine is generously textured, showcasing golden apple, silky creme brulee, and the warmth of toasted hazelnuts, all perfectly harmonized. The finish is impressively lush, with its full-bodied character and fruit-driven intensity lingering beautifully." - Jeremy Young, International Wine Report

"The really good 2023 Sojourn ‘Sangiacomo Vineyard’ Chardonnay delivers a beautiful melange of citrus and tropical fruits on the nose, showing baking spices and shades of damp soils on the nose. Soft and round on the mouth, with buttery accents, this is already drinking beautifully right now." - 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.
