Product Description
Golden honey in color with excellent clarity. The nose is rich with jasmine, orange blossom, and stone fruit. On the palate, the viscous entry leads to luscious honey blossom, citrus rind and orchard fruit – backed with crushed almonds and laced with toasty baking spices. The long and elegant nish lingers with mouthwatering, and persistent, sweet acidity.
Balanced and complex, this wine is drinkable now, but should age nicely for another 10 or more years.
To come.

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. It is always our last vineyard to be picked.
