The 2019 Pinot Noir (Russian River) is a terrific appellation-level offering in this range from Hartford Court. Blue/purplish fruit, cinnamon, licorice and spice all grace this expressive, mid-weight Pinot. Enjoy it over the next decade. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2021)

Blueberry , leather , toasty oak background bigger style - I had remembered a more restrained style - for this bigger riper style this is very good - just like to see it rained in a bit

Substantial pinot noir from RRV, succulent fruit, nice acidity and minimal tannins. This is very enjoyable and a great example of Pinot from RRV. Drink now or hold for a couple of years.

2013 vintage. Pretty textbook example. Elegant and red-fruited with good acidity, but enough structure and heft to be a more serious wine. Fresh cranberry, tart cherry, raspberry, red apple skin, lingonberry, purple and red flowers, little smoke, freshly-tilled soil, stale nutmeg, pencil shavings, nondescript dried herbs.

Very disappointed. Bouquet vanilla oak. Fruit bomb, no structure. Had to look back at the label to see if it really said Pinot Noir. Is this a mislabeled Zinfandel?

Really enjoyable. Cherry. Medium body- can drink with anything or buy itself.
