2007 HARTFORD SONOMA COAST STONE COTE VINEYARD CHARDONNAY OUR PRICE $66.00
The Stone Côte Vineyard is a small vineyard block within the well-known Durell vineyard, which sits upon an ancient riverbed at the base of Sonoma Mountain in the cool Sonoma Coast AVA. For centuries this ancient river cut a path into volcanic and sedimentary rock on its way to the Pacific Ocean.
95 Points - Robert Parker
"The 2007 Chardonnay Stone Cote is a limited cuvee of 740 cases that comes from a specific block in the Sonoma Coast’s Durell Vineyard. White peach, honeysuckle, unbuttered popcorn, and hints of tropical fruit and wet stone-like aromas and flavors are present in this full-bodied white. Good intensity, uplifting acidity, and excellent minerality suggest this stunning Chardonnay should drink well for 4-6 years."
2006 HARTFORD RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY FOUR HEARTS VINEYARD CHARDONNAY $39.00
The Hartford family of four makes Four Hearts Vineyards Chardonnay from estate and neighboring vineyards located in the four key regions that form the heart of the Russian River Valley AVA; the Middle Reach, Laguna Ridge, Green Valley and the Santa Rosa Bench.
91 Points - Robert Parker
"The two Chardonnays are both brilliant wines, with the 2006 Chardonnay Four Hearts a multiple-vineyard blend exhibiting loads of tropical fruit, some poached pear, and apple marmalade notes followed by full-bodied flavors with subtle wood, nice, leesy, chewy texture, and a good finish with fresh acidity and depth."
2006 HARTFORD SONOMA COAST LAND'S EDGE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR OUR PRICE $45.00
Land’s Edge Pinot Noir is sourced predominately from the estate’s Annapolis vineyard, located in the Sonoma Coastal Mountain Range – north of the Russian River, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Because there is only one cascading ridge between the ocean and the vineyard, Annapolis vineyard and other estate owned vineyards located at "Land’s Edge." Complex aromas of ripe cherries, violets and cedar are followed by flavors of perfectly ripe, firm black cherries and mixed red and black berries. Allspice and coffee notes complement a long, multi-faceted finish in this “True Sonoma Coast” Pinot Noir.
2007 HARTFORD GREEN VALLEY FOG DANCE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR OUR PRICE $60.00
This Pinot Noir "Fog Dance" is named in respect for the dance performed by the Pacific Ocean fog, drifting through the vineyards and back again to the sea each day. This wine reflects its cool Green Valley terroir, showing the brightness and purity of cherry and cranberry flavors along with an elegant and refined texture.
93 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
"Deep red. Seductively perfumed bouquet of red berry preserves, five-spice powder and flowers. Juicy raspberry and cherry flavors are framed by silky tannins and gain weight with aeration. Richer black raspberry and kirsch qualities dominate the long, seductively sweet finish. Offers an impressive blend of power and vivacity."
2006 HARTFORD RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY ZINFANDEL OUR PRICE $38.00
90 Points - Robert Parker
"The 2006 Zinfandel Hartford Vineyard comes from 92-year-old vines that are farmed biodynamically. A gorgeous briery, peppery, raspberry, and blueberry nose soars from the glass. The wine is deep ruby/purple-tinged to the rim, full-bodied, and almost Pinot Noir-like in its delicacy and nuances, but the power and heady alcohol (15.9%) in the finish reinforce the Zinfandel’s personality."
2007 HARTFORD RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY HARTFORD VINEYARD ZINFANDEL OUR PRICE $60.00
92 Points - Robert Parker
"The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Zinfandel Hartford Vineyard exhibits intense aromas of flowers, black raspberries, and cherries, a full-bodied, rich, layered, opulent style, and a hedonistic display of fireworks."
