Wine Profile

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 100% Estate Pinot Noir
Winemaker Notes
At more than 40 years old, the coveted old vines of Jensen Vineyard have produced a stunning wine that offers depth, elegance and layered complexity. Luxurious aromas of ripe black cherry, cinnamon, cola and spice leap from the glass. On the lush, mouthcoating palate, supple tannins and juicy blackberry and cherry flavors carry the wine to a rich, focused finish.
Production
The quality of the 2018 growing season on Mt. Harlan was fantastic. After warm early spring weather led to an early budbreak, the temperatures cooled in latespring, followed by sunny days with moderate temperatures throughout the summer. This provided us with long hangtimes, which resulted in exceptional ripeness, while preserving excellent natural acidity in the grapes. The one negative was that the cool early weather during bloom caused a bit of shatter and reduced yields. While the crops were small, the quality was outstanding, producing beautifully complex wines, with lovely structure, and pure, varietal flavors.
