Harvest Moon is a family-run boutique winery nestled in the Russian River Valley that focuses primarily on California's own Zinfandel. The proprietors, Bob and Ginny Pitts, have grown grapes in Russian River Valley since 1977. In 2000, their son Randy assumed the farming responsibilities at the family ranch. In 2001, Randy made a barrel of homemade Zinfandel from the ranch that turned out extremely well. With that rich, fruit-driven homemade Zinfandel lingering on their palates, it quickly became apparent that they had something remarkable growing in their backyard. Armed with 12 acres of luscious fruit, they applied for and received a small production winery permit in early 2002. While the Estate Zinfandel is the centerpiece of the label, Randy also handcrafts a limited production Estate Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noir.
From their initial amateur adventure, the farmers-turned-winemakers looked towards a promising future. With the 2002 Pitts Home Ranch Russian River Valley Zinfandel as the pride of their first commercial vintage, the proprietors intend on marking their unique ZinPrint on California's wine landscape. Harvest Moon Wines offer a sensory adventure with hypnotic aromas and lingering finishes in every bottle. With almost 30 years of wine country hospitality experience in tow, the Pitts Family is bringing a refreshing vision to the wine country with a simple yet exciting equation.
