Hartford Court Russian River Pinot Noir 2021
The Wine
Sourced from several vineyards within the Russian River Valley AVA this Pinot Noir is a perfect example of the quality coming out of this region.
92 points Jeb Dunnuck 'A youthful and saturated ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is ripe and spicy, with aromas of fresh pine, cherry liqueur, and fresh wildflowers. Medium to full-bodied, with ample richness on the palate, it reveals notes of ripe berries, turned forest floor, and toasted baking spice, and it has a classic feel, with good structure and a long finish.'
92 points Wine Spectator 'Sleek and elegantly layered, with vibrant raspberry and cherry flavors accented by violet and dusky spices. Glides along the supple finish.'
