Vintage: | 2018 |
---|---|
Description: | 94 points Wine Enthusiast. 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. *Editors' Choice* (vb) (7/2020) 92 points Jeb Dunnuck. Leading off the Chardonnays (there are two early release 2018s), the appellation 2018 Chardonnay Russian River Valley is a great introduction into the wines of this estate and has a richer, expansive, medium to full-bodied style offering lots of golden apple, musky pineapple, brioche, and honeysuckle aromas and flavors. (5/2020) 92 points Wine Spectator. Luscious, rich and full of creamy white fruit flavors flanked by buttery accents. Spicy plushness lingers into the finish, with some honeyed notes. (km, Web Only-2020) (4/2020) 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. Already bottled, the 2018 Chardonnay Russian River Valley sings of fresh Bosc pears, white peaches and pink grapefruit with hints of powdered ginger, shaved almonds and white pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate has great vibrancy and juiciness with effortless fruit expression and lovely savory layers on the finish. I wish all Chardonnays at this price point tasted this good! (lpb) 91+ (2/2020) K&L Notes. Ever since their first release in 1996, Hartford Family Winery has received awards and critical acclaim, and their wines are now featured on some of the world's most prestigious wine lists. Located in Forestville in the heart of the Russian River Valley, and part of the Jackson Family Wines collection, they specialize in the production of small-lot Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and old-vine Zinfandel. The wines of Hartford Court clearly compete head on with the "grand crus" of the Russian River Valley. They offer tremendous relative value and give you the chance to enjoy world-class wine on a more regular basis. (Kaj Stromer, K&L). |
