Description

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.

Review
Pouring a deeper ruby/magenta color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is ripe and layered in the glass, with a generous, inviting, pure perfume of black cherries, cola, sweet baking spice, and forest floor. Medium-bodied, it has a lot of charm and a good, weightless feel, with fine tannins and a clean finish. I love that it never feels heavy but is 100% Russian River Valley in character. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. This is a lot of wine for the value.

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.
