Hartford Court Russian River Pinot Noir from California is a rich, elegant expression of Russian River Valley terroir, crafted by winemaker Jeff Stewart. Known for his dedication to small-lot, vineyard-focused winemaking, Stewart has expertly harnessed the Russian River Valley’s cool-climate conditions, which bring out the vibrant fruit and balanced acidity in Pinot Noir. The valley’s foggy mornings, sunny afternoons, and well-drained soils create ideal conditions for producing complex and nuanced Pinot Noir.
Roasted chicken, duck, mushroom dishes, and grilled salmon.
This Russian River Pinot Noir opens with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, with underlying hints of rose petal, forest floor, and a touch of spice.
The palate is layered and smooth, featuring flavors of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by fine tannins and a silky texture. A subtle oak influence adds warmth and depth without overpowering the fruit, leading to a long, elegant finish with hints of spice and earthiness.
