The 2017 Chardonnay Four Hearts Vineyards is another pretty, appellation-level Chardonnay from Hartford Court. Apricot, orange peel, spice, chamomile and lightly buttered notes flesh out in this resonant, inviting Chardonnay. My impression is that the Four Hearts will drink best upon release.

Can see how this style would be a mind-blow for some(96 Advocate). Borders on over-the-top opulence but hangs on with just enough edge to impress and lift.

Aged beautifully. Great balance, tertiary flavors developed showing thru as ginger, whipped cream, hazelnut, stewed Meyer lemon...

14' Hartford Court Four Hearts Vineyard Chard. Nice bottle. Nothing says purchase me again. Edit- I should've known better. It tasted much better as it opened up and warmed up.

Nice solid CA Chard. Warm, ripe, lemon curd, tropical notes. A little lacking in acidity, but this is a nice hedonistic drink.

A buttery, rich style; big for Russian River, but nice and very California
