2008 La Follette Sangiacomo Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

One 750ml bottle

Managed by third-generation farmers, brothers Mike and Steve Sangiacomo, this vineyard benefits from a daily stream of cool air pulled inland from the San Pablo Bay. Planted in 1998, the Robert’s Road block is rooted in an ancient footprint of Copeland Creek, providing alluvial soils with tracks of gravel. LaFollette strives for balance with this cool climate Pinot Noir, displaying the classic aromas and flavors of this enigmatic varietal.  
 
Bing cherry, elderberry blossom and strawberry preserve dominate the initial nose, joined by baked molasses, hickory and oolong tea. Macerated red raspberry and mulberry continue on the palate with herbal and sandalwood spices. Tannins come in late-palate, and the finish is long and fruity. This wine will appreciate with cellaring, and will develop depth and savory flavors with age.
