Hartford Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2011

Earthy, spiced Pinot with serious Russian River character and surprising depth.

Dark cherry mingles with violet florals and forest floor earthiness. Clove spice threads through the mid-palate alongside loamy minerality. Sassafras adds distinctive herbal complexity on the finish. Well-structured tannins support without overwhelming. This 2011 drinks beautifully now but has grip for another 3-4 years. Classic cool-climate expression with personality.

🍷 You want sophisticated Pinot that tastes like place, not just fruit.

Pairs with: Duck confit with herbs, Mushroom risotto, Grilled salmon with rosemary, Aged goat cheese
