Wine Profile

Production Notes
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir
Winemaker Notes
Embodying the depth, character, and complexity of Jensen Vineyard’s cherished old vines, this captivating wine opens with aromas of wild blackberry, cherry, pine needle, and black pepper. On the palate, refined tannins frame vibrant notes of blueberry scone, savory spice, and ripe cherry, accented by a delicate hint of nutmeg that carries through to a harmonious finish.
Production
With more than 43 inches of rain, 2023 was the wettest year on record since the planting of Mt. Harlan. Not only did the rains last into the spring, delaying budbreak, but due to moderate spring and summer temperatures, we did not achieve full verasion until early September. While the season was quite late, great weather in late September and October helped the vines to achieve excellent ripeness. Harvest was very condensed, starting on October 9th and concluding on October 26th, yielding pristine clusters and bold flavors. The resulting wines are beautifully balanced and poised while also displaying remarkable terroir-driven intensity.
