Region:


Mt. Harlan

With only one commercial winery in the appellation, Mt. Harlan is a hidden gem within California. Just inland from Monterey Bay, the region experiences hot temperatures during the day. Winds funnel into the vineyards mid-afternoon thanks to influences from the nearby Pacific Ocean, allowing fruit to ripen under the sunny skies and develop natural acidity and concentrated flavors during the cooler moments. Cool climate varietals like Pinot noir and Chardonnay thrive in the environment.
