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.

A soft, almost jammy expression of Pinot. Very soft tannins. Medium finish. Lacking structure for me. An easy drinker!
