Randy, I just wanted to say you have a wonderful winery. My cousin Joe and his wife Sarah live in Rohnert Park and brought me, my brother and a friend here the Saturday before the Super Bowl (We were in from Denver). This was our last stop of the day and the two ladies that helped us were awesome and we left with a nice assortment. Looking forward to some Colorado summertime BBQ with the Dry Sparkling Zin! I hope to enjoy this 6 pack of Pinot soon as well! Go Broncos!
What’s up Wooters!
I’m offering my 2010 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir today. This vintage offered a light colored, light bodied style Pinot perfect for spring sipping and summer BBQ’s. The 2010 vintage was a cold summer with a burst of heat towards the end of the the growing season.
With its floral, red fruit a great spice, this wine is far from past its time in bottle. This is NOT cult Pinot Noir, rather offers a walk on the Burgundian side of the RRV.
BTW, this wine still has distance to go! Let it rest another few years and watch the earth and layers continue to show.

Wow. Thanks for the note. I’m a big fan of Joe and Sarah. Good peeps. Joes gardening rivals my own. That bubbly Zin will knock socks off with BBQ on that first warm spring evening. Cheers!

In for one! Have been interested in harvest moon for a while now, and I’m running low on pinot noir
Got my box today. This wine is one of the worst I ever tasted ever. Not drinkable.

Tasted yesterday. Bad, bad, bad.
I had some Randy Zin recently and I thought the same thing. I left on a trip for three days and had forgotten to dump it out. I then tasted the wine and found it to my surprise to be quite good. Coincidence, I think not. Try letting these suckers lay down for a while.
Tasted yesterday. Bad, bad, bad.
Harvest moon had real bad luck with Rat bottles bring bad. I wonder what Randy’s problem is. As a side note I think PN needs to rest a week or two after shipping.
I opened a bottle of this just now, and boy is it excellent. If you prefer the big, fruity, low acid California Pinots, then you may not enjoy this. It’s funky (earth and mushroom, not bret), balanced, and solidly fruity.
