Vintage Notes
Planted in 1975 and facing north, Reed Vineyard is consistently the last site harvested on Mt. Harlan. The extended growing season yields a wine of remarkable energy, opening with captivating aromas of pomegranate, rhubarb, and dried thyme. On the palate, notes of Bing cherry, sassafras and a hint of white pepper unfold with lift and precision, carrying through to a bright, lingering finish.
