Benziger
Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros) 2008
91 points | $20 | White
Made in the modern, ripe style, but with a greater degree of finesse than you might expect at this price. The wine is dry and crisp and minerally, with a clean mouthfeel, yet offers rich flavors of pineapples, green apples and peaches. Easy to find, with more than 12,000 cases produced. Editors' Choice. - S.H.

Acacia
Sangiacomo Vineyard Carneros Chardonnay 2008
90 points | $40 | 511 Cases | White
Rich and creamy, with complex fig, melon, apple, apricot and citrus flavors that are intense and concentrated. Full-bodied, still a bit course, but all the right ingredients are there. Drink now through 2014. - J.L.

A Deeply Rooted Sangiacomo Tradition
There is a good reason why more than 30 wineries proudly display "Sangiacomo Vineyard" on their wine labels. Ask a Sonoma County winegrape grower the person they most respect in the industry, and the reply may be: "Angelo Sangiacomo."
The Sangiacomo family has been working and caring for their land and producing premium fruit for 80 years. They have successfully adapted to industry changes while keeping to their family traditions and values. In addition, they have been leaders in new directions for the winegrape industry.
Family
Vittorio Sangiacomo came from Genoa, Italy as a teenager in 1913, and worked in San Francisco. In 1927, he bought the Homestead Orchard in Sonoma Valley, which had 52 acres of fruit trees, and married Maria (also from Genoa) in 1928. With four children - Angelo, Buck, Bob, and Lorraine - they ran a successful business farming tree fruit (pears, apples, prunes, and cherries).

B.R. Cohn
Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros) 2008
91 points | $35 | White
This is Cohn's reserve-style Chardonnay and it's easily their best since the 1990s. Made from two vineyards in the cool Carneros district of Sonoma, it's ripe in pineapple and green apple flavors enhanced with the toast of oak, the creaminess of lees and the buttery softness of malolactic fermentation. Easy to drink with opulent fare such as crab. - S.H.
