Hartford delivers profound Russian River Pinot with dark complexity and mineral spine.
Black cherry opens with violet perfume and sassafras spice. Loam earthiness anchors the mid-palate while clove adds warming complexity. Dense fruit concentration balanced by crisp acidity and silky tannins. Finish lingers with dark berry essence and forest floor notes. This 2019 shows Hartford's understanding of cooler Russian River sites. Will develop beautifully through 2030.
🍷 You want serious Pinot Noir that proves California can make profound, age-worthy wines with Burgundian soul.
Pairs with: Duck confit with cherry gastrique, Mushroom risotto with truffle oil, Herb-crusted lamb rack, Aged gruyere and charcuterie
