My Pinot Noirs are sourced from particularly unique, cool-climate vineyards in the Sonoma Coast, Petaluma Gap and Russian River appellations – where this varietal shows so much depth of character. All of our wines are site specific thanks to each of our vineyards and the farmers who look after them so carefully and conscientiously. The flagship of the Blagden brand is the Sangiacomo vineyard where the grapes and therefore the ensuing wines show complexity, richness and individuality. Some years we have made Pinot from other interesting vineyards, but every year we have made Sangaicomo Pinot Noir – thanks to the consistency of quality and age-ability. All our Pinots year in and year out tend to be impressive, balanced and food-friendly, showing an extraordinariness that is rare amongst Pinot Noirs.
