The 2021 Hartford Court Russian River Pinot Noir is a dark purple-red color in the glass. The nose is pure Russian River all the way and literally jumps out of the glass with waves of dark berry, spice strawberry preserves, forest floor spice, and warm earth. Hints of vanilla and toast and rose petals accent this wonderfully boisterous Pinot. In the mouth, this Pinot brings the good with succulent summer blackberry and dark cherry with sappy cola and bouquet-garni herbs that add the perfect level of complexity and interest to this wonderfully pure and mouth-filling Pinot. The finish is long and supple with a polished kiss of vanilla oak riding on ripe rail of silky tannin that carry this beauty along on the palate to a pure and juicy finish.
The Laguna Ridge soils have higher iron content, producing wines of great minerality. This Pinot flashes beautiful blue fruit aromatics with hints of cola and crushed slate. The palate is showy, with turned earth-based umami, fresh red berries and a spiced cassia bark undertone. Fresh, bright mint carries a finish of true elegance.
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.
Sleek and elegantly layered, with vibrant raspberry and cherry flavors accented by violet and dusky spices. Glides along the supple finish.
