Sangiacomo Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2010
95 points | $48 | Red


Medium-deep ruby color: deep, intense aromas of tobacco, leather, and stewed cherry; ripe, big flavors of stewed cherry with very complex earth and leather notes; silky texture; great structure and balance; long finish. Amazingly deep and complex, this is a Pinot that never ceases to impress me. $48

La Folette
Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Sangiacomo Vineyard 2009
93 points | $40 | 480 Cases | Red

Very intense, rich, plush and spicy, this shows tiers of melted black and red licorice, plum jam and floral scents. The long, focused finish lingers. Drink now through 2021.  - J.L.

Sangiacomo Family Vineyards' 23rd Annual Chardonnay Tasting

 by Eric Stern

One of the most cliched phrases in all of winemaking - that wine is made in the vineyard - was emphatically demonstrated at the 23rd annual Sangiacomo Chardonnay tasting on March 24 at Ramekins, a culinary school and inn in Sonoma. The long history of this tasting reflects the naivete and can-do, eclectic, experimental and evolutionary trends that have so marked the past 20-plus years of California's permium wine industry.

94 points | $48 | 875 Cases | Red

This smooth red is impressive for its polish and finesse, showing subtle cherry, berry, mineral and spice flavors that build depth and intensity, while maintaining an understated elegance. Drink now through 2020. - J.L.

Neyers Vineyard 
El Novillero Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros) 2009
94 points | $42 | White

 

The 2009 Chardonnay El Novillero Vineyard reminds me of some of the glory days of Louis Latour's Corton-Charlemagne. Smoky bacon fat, poached pear, honeysuckle, peach and earth all combine in a full-bodied , minerally, yet authortatively flavored Chardonnay that is part California and seemingly part French. This beauty, from a cool-climate vineyard, is just that loaded. Drink it over the the next 5-6 years.
