Production Notes

Varietal Composition: 100% Viognier

Winemaker Notes

Crafted from our prized estate Viognier grown at soaring elevations reaching 2,200 feet, this tantalizing wine offers inviting aromas of Meyer lemon and peach preserves. The citrus and stone fruit notes are echoed on the soft, supple palate, with flavors of apricot and zesty lemon carrying the wine to bright, focused 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.
