Hartford Court Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

The Hartford Court Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021 is a masterful expression of the cool, misty terroirs that have made this region famous. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards within the Russian River Valley, where the unique combination of morning mists, sunny afternoons and well-drained soils ensures Pinot Noir ripens perfectly.

The wine has a vibrant ruby red colour and offers aromas of ripe cherries, blueberries and pomegranate on the nose, complemented by subtle hints of spice, cedar and a touch of earthy complexity. On the palette, the wine is silky smooth with a refined structure, lively acidity and a long, elegant finish.

The Hartford Court Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021 is fermented with native yeasts and aged for 11 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new. This approach adds subtle spiciness and complexity, while maintaining pure fruit expression.

This Pinot Noir is a versatile companion to dishes such as duck, rich fish dishes, an earthy risotto or soft cheeses. The wine is a wonderful example of Hartford Court's commitment to craftsmanship and offers an authentic taste experience of the Russian River Valley.
