2021 'Omay Pinot Noir

VINTAGE

'Omay is the Coast Miwok word for the Brown Pelican. For Coast Miwok people, the brown pelican is harbinger of good things to come. We feel the same about the wine. Sourced from one of the finest Pinot vineyards in Sonoma County, the fruit is meticulously maintained to the highest standards. In 2021 the fruit was picked right before rains set in in late September allowing for slightly lower alcohol yet vibrant fruit characteristics.

VINEYARDS

100% Sangiacomo Family Vineyards, Robert's Road - 100% Pommard pinot clone - planted c.1999.  These east-west oriented vines are planted in silty gravel soil with good drainage and are certified sustainably grown. The vineyard enjoys a long, slow, even growing season largely due to the daily fog that burns off mid-day. In Sangiacomo's own words, "Roberts Road grapes are amongst the most prestigious that our family cultivates." Over 20 other wineries source grapes for this idyllic spot.

TASTE

Aromas of cherries, violets, and cedar. Flavors of red licorice, cherries, and hints of nutmeg erupt in the mouth followed by a gentle yet, long finish.
