In the late 1920s the Sangiacomo family purchased their first parcel in Sonoma-originally planted to fruit trees, then to grapes for winemaking. In 1969 the Sangiacomo?s Green Acres vineyard was planted, in part to the original Old Wente clone of Chardonnay. Saintsbury partnered with the Sangiacomo family in 1981 and for 33 years has made Chardonnay from the Green Acres vineyard. Today we are thrilled to release our first single-vineyard designate Green Acres Chardonnay.
Seductive, smoky, vanilla-laced oak adds a pretty touch, joining flavors of green tree fruits, pear, apple and citrus. Maintains focus and ends long and persistent. Drink now through 2020. 462 cases made. -JL
