Wine Profile

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir
Winemaker Notes
This gracefully luxurious and dark-fruited expression of Pinot Noir draws you in with aromas of blackberry, briar patch, soft leather and allspice. On the palate, notions of juicy blueberry and black raspberry are framed by velvety tannins, with hints of nutmeg and cracked pepper emerging on the long, complex finish.
Production
The 2021 growing season began with very little winter rainfall on Mt. Harlan followed by moderate spring temperatures that led to a typically timed budbreak. While the temperate weather led to a uniform bloom and set, overall yields on Mt. Harlan were down significantly. Throughout the remainder of spring and summer the weather continued to be mild, resulting in a somewhat later-than-normal veraison, with harvest commencing just six weeks later. Reflecting the combination of low yields and excellent weather, our 2021 wines display beautiful depth and concentration, with refreshing acidity and full fruit expression.
