Inspired by the celestial wonder of the Harvest Moon, Harvest Moon Estate and Winery produces exceptional Russian River Valley wines with balanced elegance. Established by the Pitts family, who have cultivated grapes in the Russian River Valley since 1976, the winery focuses on complex and refined Zinfandel. Randy Pitts, having studied viticulture and enology, realized Zinfandel’s potential and released the first vintage in 2002. Embracing both growing and winemaking, Harvest Moon also crafts limited quantities of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Sangiovese, showcasing the diversity and quality of California wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Harvest Moon Estate & Winery Pitts Home Ranch Estate Zinfandel offers up a complex nose of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, and bramble fruit with a hint of dried cedar, black olive, and sweet oak.On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and well-structured, with a core of juicy raspberry, blackberry, and plum flavors layered with light touches of licorice and herbs. The finish is lingering and inviting, with a balanced acidity and a lingering note of spice. Enjoy with grilled steak, roasted pork, or braised lamb.
