Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruits, cedar and baking spice. On the palate flavors of ripe black cherry and raspberry with cola and sweet cinnamon spice notes. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and an earthy mineral character. Nice! — 8 days ago

2022 vintage. Tight. Medium-heavy body and polished as is the Hartford Court style. Needs a decade or 6-8 hours in a decanter to lighten up, Francis. 01.09.25. — 2 months ago

Yes, I am reviewing this at 10 years old - and I’m impressed with its preservation, I just think the beginning point was a little on thin side (sugar development). Definitely a nice effort at a difficult varietal to mature on the east coast. Raspberry and mulberry notes lead - not a bad effort! — 3 months ago

At 24 years of age this is youthful and vital with a rich ridge of stone fruit braced by range citrus acid and a lingering, slightly mineral finish. Delightful. — 2 years ago

So impressed with this $23 bottle. Drinks like $60, easily. Lovely aroma of soft caramel leads into baked apples on the mid palate. Nice ripe structure and acidity suggest this will continue as is for a few more years, but why wait?

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. . — 8 months ago

Incredibly light - feels like it dissolves on the tongue. Dry but not too dry. Delicious. — 3 years ago
