Fact Sheet
Release notes:
Sangiacomo Vineyard, Sonoma Coast
Our 2012 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot noir exhibits the lush creamy textures and dark red fruit flavors that fans have enjoyed in previous vintages. The warm 2012 growing season resulted in complex flavor development at optimal tannin levels. We blended a small percentage of Swan clone to our traditional blend of clones 115 and 777. The resulting wine is nicely balanced with seductive aromas of dark cherry, black tea, and earthy forest floor. Textures are creamy and silky with an extra level of elegance and finesse.
The 2012 Pinot noir growing season was defined by good yields and ideal weather. Fantastic farming by the Sangiacomo Family ensured that our crop was in the best possible condition on pick day, resulting in a concentrated and luxurious wine. Dedicated work in the vineyard meant extended hang-time to provide smooth tannins and balanced structure alongside vibrant fruit and complex characters. 2012 is a fantastic Pinot noir vintage and we are especially proud of our 2012 Sangiacomo Vineyard Pinot noir.
