Product Description
This is still the sweet, supple, sophisticated, elegant and balanced wine that I released 5 years ago.
It might even have more complexity with this age.
Let this baby breathe and off you go…
Showing delightful fruity tones it has some flexibility with regards to pairing. I think this wine right now, is tasting like an excellent Thanksgiving wine!

The Sangiacomo’s Roberts Road Vineyard is a 130 acre vineyard; it is a well-drained site planted on a creek bed, initially planted in 1999. Because the fog can often remain until midday, the growing season is long and slow – allowing for nicely ripened fruit, with balanced sugars and acids allowing for complex flavor development. The vineyard is Certified Sustainable – CSWA – and grows cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This is always one of our last vineyards to be picked.
