Harper's Rest Description
Harper’s Rest produces terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from two estate vineyards in the Russian River Valley—Harper’s Rest in the Middle Reach and Moon Dust in the Sebastopol Hills—farmed with a meticulous regenerative organic approach. Owned by fifth-generation vintner Chris Underwood, the winery honors both a family legacy in wine and spirits dating to 1888 and the land’s original steward, 1850s hops farmer Reuben Harper.
Harper’s Rest Russian River Valley Chardonnay is an expressive, naturally made wine that leans into texture and balance. Gently handled and allowed to evolve on its own, it offers a richer mouthfeel, lower alcohol, and a sense of energy and depth shaped by extended time in barrel on the lees and the contributing vineyards. The fruit is sourced from Moon Dust Vineyard in the Sebastopol Hills—the coolest area of the Russian River Valley—and complemented by Harper’s Rest Vineyard, on Westside Road, in the Middle Reach of the appellation.
Tasting Note: Tasting Notes Light straw with green highlights, it opens with fresh and dried apricot, wild thyme, nectarine, and Seckel pear. The palate is rich yet crisp, with toasted hazelnutcaramel, apricot, and warm lemon tart notes, finishing long and bright with seamlessly integrated French oak
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Wine Spectator
An open-knit style, with pear pastry, fresh apple and ripe melon flavors that show fresh citrus accents and a crisp edge. A touch of toasted, salted almond and a hint of nutmeg linger.
