92 points PinotFile: "14.5% alc., pH 3.62, TA 0.58, 1,250 cases. Vineyard is located on Roberts Road at the base of Sonoma Mountain. Clone 115, 777, and small amounts of Swan selection. 100% de-stemmed, native yeast fermentation, aged in 50% new French oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. The deep aroma of cherries is accented with scents of wooded forest, bark and potpourri. Redder fruits are featured in this middleweight wine which offers crisp, clean flavors, modest fine-grain tannins and a pleasing cherry-fueled finish kissed by oak. (5/13/15)"
Producer notes: "2013 was our 9th vintage producing a Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot noir. This vineyard is situated on Roberts Road at the western base of Sonoma Mountain. We source fruit from six distinct blocks, each one adding a layer of texture and flavor nuance. Cool ocean breezes and Petaluma Gap fog keep the heat in check, allowing for long hang time while retaining acidity. The vines woke up early, yet the moderate climate of the 2013 vintage allowed flavors to mature slowly with long hang times, while the juice retained fresh natural acidity. Climate is key to this vineyard's ability to produce noteworthy Pinot noir. This wine is deep with lush creamy textures and dark red fruit flavors. It is nicely balanced with seductive aromas of dark cherry, black tea and earthy forest floor. 50% new French oak. 100% de-stemmed; native yeast. 1,250 cases produced. Alcohol 14.5%."
