Winemaking Notes
The 2016 vintage arrived earlier, but with traditional yields. Tempranillo were the last grapes of the season to be harvested at Harney Lane Winery, and enjoying the longest hang time for optimal ripeness. Time on the vine allowed tannins to go from “green” to more ripe and mature, offering less bitterness and more supple structure.
