Ripe red cherry and currant, herbaceousness, menthol and chocolate aromas reminiscent of a merlot. Beautiful and silky palate, long long long finish, an earthy bitterness on the back end.

Rich ripe cherry with hints of mint, graphite, cherry coke, amaretto on the nose. Kirsch, vanilla, Dr. Pepper, cranberry on the palate with mildly puckering white tea and hints of powdered sugar on a medium finish with delicately polished tannins. Classic varietal characteristics but very nicely done.

Delicious Pinot. Great example of the depth of the Hartford single vineyards. Blueberry preserve, Cassis, red raspberry, cocoa, black tea, oak, tannin.

Big, powerful Sonoma Pinot. Ripe strawberries, morello cherries, and kirsch melded together with big, chewy tannins. I love Sonoma pinots and Hartford makes some of the best. But note that these are bold wines, and while I like them this way, Pinot lovers who prefer lighter, more mineral-driven, wines may balk. Nevertheless, this is extremely well-made with awesome fruit. 2016 vintage on Aug 31, 2019

Love this. Hartford has figured out Pinot. Nice fruit, with subtle acid, great balance.
