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

Belle Glos Clark and Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
The Clark & Telephone Vineyard was established in 1972 and planted with “own root” Martini clone vines. Located just 13 miles from the ocean and situated on a west-facing slope, this vineyard experiences weather patterns that pull from west to east to bring cool fog and coastal breezes inland until August when Santa Ana winds begin.
We harvested early in the morning so the fruit would arrive at the winery while the grapes were still cool to preserve their vineyard-fresh flavors. After destemming (but not crushing) the berries, we cold-soaked the must for 14 days to soften the skins and allow for ideal extraction. During fermentation in a combination of closed and open-top stainless steel fermenters, we used both punch-down and pump-over techniques to extract color and phenolics. We aged the wine in 100% French oak (60% new) for up to 12 months. After the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, we racked it twice before bottling.
Deep ruby red in color with lush aromas of ripe cherry, nutmeg, dark chocolate and holiday baking spices. Bold and complex flavors of black plum, crushed raspberry and blueberry pie linger on the palate. The texture is rich and lively, and leads into a warm and structured finish.
