Located in Lodi, California, Harney lane is owned and operated by Kyle and Jorja Lerner.
The Vineyard Philosophy: We always say that great wine starts in the vineyard. As a family owned and farmed property, we are fortunate enough to have 100% control over our wines- from grape to glass- ensuring the best possible product for our customers.
It would be hard to imagine Vineyard Manager, Kyle Lerner, doing anything but farming. His love of the land and being out in the vineyards has become a true passion, more than just a career. For Kyle, loving the land means taking care of it in a responsible way for generations to come. It also means embracing the challenges that each year brings- and anyone who knows him will tell you that Kyle loves a challenge. Every year is different, and that keeps farming exciting.
We vigilantly farm our vineyards so that we have a jump start on excellent quality wines. From planting and tending the grapes every season, to harvest and crush, to bottling. We handle our winemaking with the same care as our vineyards: our fruit is handpicked, hand sorted, fermented in small lots and then barrel aged in programs unique to each of the wines in our portfolio

Review:
“Incredible, reserved ripeness and depth already evident on the nose after one whiff, offering plum, cedar, rose hip, sandalwood, and licorice. Full-bodied with superb depth of fruit and an abundance of polished tannins that give the wine poise and grace, even though it’s long and powerful. The quality of the tannins are exceptional. Sheer and refined. This comes from the center of Cannubi.”

Guillemot-Michel Une Bulle is made from 100% Chardonnay.
This cuvée was created originally to celebrate the wedding of daughter Sophie Guillemot and Gautier!
The Chardonnay grapes come from a historic parcel of the estate - La Lie-Monin - that had been leased for nearly 30 years and that the family decided to cultivate again in 2013 following up a change of viticulture practice (towards organic) from their main neighbor.
"Bulle" is produced with the "methode ancestrale" - meaning only natural sugars are used from grapes that are harvested at optimum maturity, being less acidic and more aromatic, giving a beautiful fresh and elegant sparkling wine of crisp and juicy flavors, firm acidity and a long finish.
White meat, dessert, fruits, mild cheese, delicious on its own
