Grower & Winemaker’s Notes

Over the course of the 2002 growing season, over 50% of the Zinfandel fruit grown on the Estate was “thinned” (dropped on the ground) in order to produce the aromatic intensity that lies inside. Harvest Moon employs an extensive canopy management program with the trellised Zin. This program includes spring suckering, leaf pulling, cane positioning, fruit thinning and bull-caning. All of this is done for fruit quality.

Only a small percentage of new Radaux UMX French-American hybrid barrels were used to complex this wine.

We believe our foggy summer nights help retain the natural acidity in the grape, which transfers to fresher and more juicy flavors on the palate.
