The “Harvest Moon” is the closest full moon to the autumnal equinox, and not, as many believe, when the moon is pregnant with a baby moon.

SOME FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT THE MOON:

Someday the moon will crash into the Earth. That day is Wednesday.

The Smashing Pumpkins video "Tonight" was actually shot on the Moon, but used a set and a gravity-amplification machine to replicate the conditions of Earth.

The so-called "golf" that U.S. astronauts played on the moon was not actually golf, but an identical sport without a name.

"Waxing gibbous" is not as dirty as it sounds.

The Earth's tides are caused by the moon, but nobody understands why and nobody cares.

If you touched the moon with your hand it would freeze, shatter, and unleash a swarm of scarabs. That's science.

It's much easier to find your toddler who is lost in the brambles when the moon is full.

The moon's cycles have bizarre and utterly unpredictable effects on women's feelings toward astronomy.

Contrary to the contrary belief that the moon is NOT made of cheese, the moon is made of cheese.

The closest the moon gets to the Earth is 362,570 km, per court fiat.

2009 Harvest Moon Zinfandel, Russian River Valley 750ml 6-Pack

With two full years in the bottle, this neighborhood blend of 100% Zinfandel is ready to drink with spicy nutmeg and soft cherry notes. Earthy coriander skirts around the glass, while the medium body of wild plum and holiday spices fill the mouth graciously. Structured, yet balanced with juicy acidity.

The 2009 season was framed by cool weather and good development in the vineyard. The fruit gained a high concentration of flavor as well as good acidity. The heat spells were moderate, the cold troughs were shallow, and the bunches looked picture perfect falling into the bins. The season was perfectly uneventful until Monday, October 12th when the greater Sonoma County region saw nearly 4” of torrential rain!!! The last time Sonoma saw this much rain so early in October was 1961. Needless to say, farmers and winemakers alike were scrambling to get as much fruit off the vine and into the fermentors as possible. Fortunately, we only had our dessert wine left on the vine, which benefits from a little mold. This was a vintage that rewards a winemaking style like Harvest Moons’, as we pick our grapes earlier than others, seeking lower sugars in the grape, and ultimately, lower alcohols and more delicate, juicy flavors in our wines. Farming is a humbling experience.

The Pitts Family

Santa Rosa, CA

The Harvest Moon: the moon at and about the period of fullness that is nearest to the autumnal equinox.  In the legend of the Harvest moon, it is said that all full moons have their own special characteristics based primarily on the whereabouts of the ecliptic in the sky at the time of year that these moons are visible.

Harvest Moon Estate and Winery was founded on growing, producing and bottling world-class Russian River Valley wine in a balanced, elegant style. Our premise is that Russian River Valley Zinfandel can be just as layered and complex as any Pinot Noir or Bordeaux variety in the world and receive the same respect.  The Pitts family has grown quality grapes in the Russian River Valley since 1976. In 2000, son Randy reverse migrated from San Francisco back to Sonoma County to assume the farming responsibilities at the family's modest nine-acre ranch. In conjunction with lessons on farming by his Dad and a few viticulture/enology courses at the local junior college, Randy made a barrel of homemade Zinfandel off the ranch's back block which turned out exceptionally tasty. Quickly concluding that properly farmed and judiciously fermented, Zinfandel has great capabilities of being California's own wine nobility.  The growers-turned winemakers birthed their inaugural vintage in 2002 and look forward to making their Zinprint on the winescene for decades to come.

In addition to growing Zinfandel, Harvest Moon also hand crafts small amounts of Russian River Valley Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir and Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon.
