Wine Profile

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir
Winemaker Notes
Planted in 1975 and with a northern exposure, Reed is always the last vineyard harvested on Mt. Harlan each year, yielding a wine with lovely energy and fascinating aromatic complexity. Luxurious aromas of black cherry and cardamom rise from the glass, followed by hints of cantaloupe and fresh-cracked pepper. On the palate, velvety tannins and dramatic dark fruit layers take center stage, carrying the wine to a rich, silky finish.
Production
While a cool, wet winter and spring on Mt. Harlan led to a late budbreak in our vineyards, moderate summer temperatures with no late-season heat events ensured that the fruit enjoyed abundant hangtime. Harvest began in late September and continued throughout October, resulting in elegant and age-worthy whites with lovely underlying power, and graceful and dynamic reds with complex layers of bright fruit and savory spice.
