Dark and spicy aroma with a thick and unwinding complexity of granular tannins and stinging finish… an absolute powerhouse with layers on layers of intricacies. Tasting notes of dried rose petals, allspice and cake finish alone can’t fully describe. — 6 months ago
I think Hartford Court wines are an excellent value, and this wine fits into that category. Lemon, tropical fruits, and a hint of vanilla. Very refreshing. — 20 days ago
Hartford Pinots are excellent. This is the tops. Decant. Let it breathe. — 3 months ago
Little nose, mild acidity, slight body, smooth finish — 8 months ago
Nice notes on the nose, definitely appreciating Napa, with a little bite on the front end. Smooth and just enough juice on the back end. Might make a hood home cooking wine. . — 2 months ago
v10. Lucky me, I don’t know why I still have a v10, but it is fantastic. I will take a chance and call it “ at peak”. Cork came out clean. Solid purple color. Soft, pleasing bacon nose. Bright cherry, and dark black cherry fruit medley. Smooth, slightly tart, but round, zippy, mocha finish. Nicely balanced. Would not share ! — 5 months ago
$50 for 2016 vintage. Needed a reconsideration. Red fruit continues on and on in the finish, allowing wondrous sipping throughout the evening — 7 months ago

Dark garnet/light ruby color. Aromas of dark cherries, blueberries and sweet baking spices. Dark berry fruit flavors are complimented by a hints of wet soil, iron, mint and abundant minerality. Nice long finish. Juicy and hefty with abundant acidity and smooth tannins. Part of Capital Grille’s 2024 Abundant Pour Program. — 8 days ago
