2019

This wine is a classic.
Great stone fruit, toasty, refined, yet lush. At the regular price it is a great value!



93 Points Jeb Dunnuck
 "Readers looking for a pure, impeccably made RussianRiver Chardonnay should check out the 2019 Chardonnay Russian River Valley from Hartford Court. It has classic pineapple and honeyed orchard fruits, a rich, medium-bodied mouthfeel, good acidity, and subtle toasty, nutty background nuances.
It's ideal for drinking over the coming 4-5 years."


You may remember that the 2018 vintage was #44 on Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2020!

91 Points Robert Parker'sWine Advocate
 "The 2019 Chardonnay Russian River Valley was 100% barrel fermented in French oak barrels, 26% new, and aged for 9.5 months. It slips slowly, cautiously out of the glass with crushed rocks and sea spray scents over a core of green and yellow apples and Bosc pears plus a hint of marzipan. Medium-bodied, the palate bursts with apple and pear flavors with a racy backbone and savory finish."

Our Thoughts on this wine.....

This Chardonnay from Russian River Valley sings of fresh Bosc pears, white peaches and pink grapefruit. It has hints of powdered ginger, shaved almonds and white pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate has great vibrancy and juiciness with lovely savory layers on a finish that lingers longer than Chardonnay costing twice the price!

Delicious!

 Hartford Court ….
Hartford Family Winery was founded in 1993 as a result of Don and Jennifer Hartford'sappreciation for the wines, the people, and the unique vineyards near their Russian River Valley home. Located in the Sonoma County town of Forestville, the winery is about 15 miles from the cool Pacific Coast.
Making delicious wines of high personality is directly related to the difficult locations of the Hartford family's vineyard sources, the limited production of their bottlings and the varietals they use. "Character through adversity" is an expression that the Hartford family believes to apply to both people and grapevines, and they feel that surviving adversity builds character, and personality, in both.
 
The Hartford Family makes wines under two marks, one of which is Hartford Court. Hartford Court bottlings are small lots of high-personality single vineyard Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays that express the distinctive qualities inherent in each vineyard's terroir - the interplay of soil, slope, exposure and climate. The fruit is sourced from the Russian River Valley, Green Valley and Sonoma Coast appellations.
