Hartford Court Russian River Valley Chardonnay

94 POINTS -  EDITOR'S CHOICE  "This is an outstanding appellation wine, made in larger quantities at a remarkably fair price.  Grapes come from throughout the diverse valley and the wine barrel fermented and given nine months to rest.  Full-bodied, layered, and widely appealing, it shows a density of peach, pear, baking spice, and sweet oak, all of the components coming together seamlessly at the end. - Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, August 2020 Tasting Notes The 2018 Hartford Court Russian River Valley Chardonnay offers subtle aromas of jasmine flower, citrus oil, green apple, and pear. The elegant aromatics are complemented by fresh kiwi, lemon drop, and green apple flavors. The fruit-focused mid-palate is followed by subtle mineral notes and a hint of crystallized ginger in the finish.
