We're opening the Vault!Accessible on our new site are wine details of every wine we've ever made. As we progress, we'll be tasting older vintages and offering current tasting notes so clients will have a better idea on the aging progress of Harvest Moon wine in their cellar. Our goal is offer members and guests continual updates about the ageing of our wines so you can make better decisions on when to open and enjoy those resting beauties.
TO OUR HEALTH!!! Recently, there's been tons of news about a natural chemical compound found exclusively in the skins of red winegrapes called Resveratrol. This compund had been initially found to be good for the heart and somehow assists on fighting cancerous cells, however there's new evidence that appears to blow open the doors of science and get a lot of labcoat wearing folk super excited. Watch here!
LOW ALCOHOL Wine has its benefits!!! Who knew that not only are lower alcohol wines BETTER TASTING, they're also better for you!!! Read about it here!
2009 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. Three. local vineyards all farmed by Harvest Moon. This elegant style Pinot Noir offers intense perfumes and rose pedals with a clean crisp finish of spicy red cherry/pomagranite.
2008 Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon: This single-vineyard Cab is the purest form of Cabernet with easy tannins, low oak and only 12.8% alc, this 100% Cab is how they used to make Cabernet Sauvignon in the 70's.

We just bottled our 2010 vintage Estate Olive Oil. With only 300 bottles (not cases) produced, we expect it sell out by early summer. $22/bottle. Call 707-573-8711 for orders!
Olive oil season begins in late October and continues until mid-December. We hand harvest our olives grown on the Estate Grove and process them with a small Italian mill. We encourage those interested in learning more about how olives are grown and produced or if you have olives and want them produced into oil to email us at info@harvestmoonwinery.com.
