About Hartford Court 2017 Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley
The 2017 Hartford Court Russian River Valley Pinot Noir comes from a collection of small vineyards located throughout the Russian River Valley AVA. These vineyards are a combination of their Estate properties such as Barbieri, Bellflower, Fog Dance, Hailey’s Block, Jennifer’s, MacLean’s Block and Arrendell as well as a handful of our neighbors’ vineyards located in the heart of the Russian River Valley. The sites express the essence of the Russian River Valley by showcasing the best of the sub-regions within the AVA. For this wine all the grapes were hand harvested with hand sorting of both clusters and berries at the winery. A pre-fermentation cold soak was followed by inoculation with indigenous yeast in small open top fermenters. The wine aged for 11 months in all French oak barrels (29% new) and underwent minimal or no fining and filtration.
Jeb Dunnuck scored this 95 points saying "A crazy good value, the 2017 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is the appellation release from this team, and it comes from all of the estate vineyards across the Green Valley, Laguna Ridge, and Sebastopol regions. Complex notes of strawberries, cranberries, violets, pine forest, and flowers all flow to a medium-bodied Pinot Noir that has a kiss of salinity and marine notes, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This beautiful wine competes with wines costing 2-3 times the price.”
