Hartford Court 2015 Pinot Noir MacLean’s Block Vineyard
$79.99Russian River Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 96 Rating
Share Tweet
Also from the Green Valley portion of the Russian River Valley, from two separate blocks in the vineyard, the 2015 Pinot Noir MacLean's Block offers ample black cherries, exotic darker fruits, some toasty oak, medium to full body, and a lush, rounded, deep style on the palate. This cuvée sees a touch of whole cluster inclusion and is aged in 29% new French oak. Give this savory, rich, concentrated (masculine even) Pinot Noir a few years and enjoy over the following decade.

Hartford Court 2016 Pinot Noir Arrendell Vineyard
$109.99Russian River Valley California

I also loved the 2016 Pinot Noir Arrendell Vineyard. Located in the Russian River and planted in 1975 to a heritage Martini Clone, this cool site struggles to ripen, giving this 2016 an exotic, complex, vibrant style along with its ample red and black fruits, candied violets, potpourri, and sandalwood. It’s one of the more vibrant, racier wines in the lineup, yet its acidity is nicely integrated, it’s flawlessly balanced, and it has a great, great finish. Give bottles a year or two and enjoy over the following decade. R15-1 -
Hartford Court 2017 Seascape Vineyard Chardonnay
$99.99Sonoma Coast California
Jeb Dunnuck 99 Rating
Coming from a site on a panoramic ridgetop located at 1150 feet in elevation, west of the town of Occidental and facing Bodega Bay, the 2017 Chardonnay Seascape Vineyard is another magical effort from this estate and is a quintessential Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. White flowers, salty minerality, apple blossom, and tart pineapple all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied and has a wonderful purity, bright (almost racy) acidity, and a great finish. Brought up in 42% new French oak, it shows almost no trace of its élevage, and while tight and slightly closed on the palate, it’s nevertheless insanely good. Give bottles another year and enjoy over the following decade. R32-6 -
Hartford Court 2022 Land’s Edge Pinot Noir
Price range: $39.99 through $210.00Sonoma Coast California
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
From the far Sonoma Coast, the 2022 Pinot Noir Land’s Edge Vineyards was aged for 9 months in 32% new French oak barrels. In the glass, it displays a medium ruby color and offers expressive notes of red berries, cranberries, and juniper. There’s a good bit of reduction initially that benefits from a little air at this stage, but it starts to reveal darker notes as it opens, so I would recommend decanting if opening it on the young side. The palate has a wonderful, compact feel, with refreshing lift, fine tannins, and a snappy finish. I personally enjoy the bright and coiled energy that comes through in this one.

Hartford Court 2024 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
Price range: $24.99 through $120.00Sonoma County California
Vinous 92 Rating
The 2024 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) really overdelivers. It’s an ideal expression of the Russian River Valley, with all the bright, sunny orchard fruit and spritzy citrus lift you could hope for, but also an extra measure of freshness and juiciness that leaves the mouth watering. Notably restrained, the 2024 shows excellent finesse, especially for an appellation-level bottling.

Hartford Court 2024 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Price range: $29.99 through $150.00Sonoma County California
Jeb Dunnuck 94 Rating
The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is also from the Russian River Valley. It’s a bright ruby color and boasts a seductive perfume with notes of fresh leather, ripe cherries, sweet spices, and forest earth. The palate is medium-framed and has a focused and bright feel, with refreshing, mouthwatering acidity, ripe tannins, and a gently tapering, spiced finish. Drink 2026-2040.

Hartford Family Winery 2023 Old Vines Zinfandel
Price range: $39.99 through $216.00Russian River Valley California
Jeb Dunnuck 95 Rating
Pouring a dark magenta/purple color, the 2023 Zinfandel Russian River Valley is deeper, offering notes of black cherry cordial, dark chocolate, lavender oils, wet stones, and dark sappy earth. The palate is full-bodied, with a broad-shouldered tannic structure that has an even feel, while refreshing acidity holds this wine together. It’s well-structured and has the ability to age over the coming 10 years. R10-6

Harvey & Harriet 2023 Red Blend
Price range: $24.99 through $240.00San Luis Obispo County California
The Tasting Panel 94 Rating
This blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Syrah, 9% Petite Sirah, 8% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec, and 2% each of Grenache and Mourvèdre is a terrific overachiever in relation to its price. Full-bodied but not overbearing, it successfully melds the class of Cabernet with more brambly berry notes from the other varieties. Enduringly interesting but also flat-out delicious.

Harvey & Harriet 2024 White Blend
Price range: $19.99 through $180.00San Luis Obispo County California
A fun, medium gold tone at first glance. Hints of tangerine, pineapple, and honeydew exude from your glass in this aromatically driven delight. A subtle saltiness with nutmeg undertones lead you into this lighter in body wine that still manages to possess a unique, restrained creaminess that can be appreciated by all. The burst of bright, refreshing acidity leaves one immediately ready for the next sip. The precise and understated oak finish show that this playful wine has a serious side to it as well. Be ready to drink this as soon as you get home on a warm, summer evening or as an addition to your meal with lighter fare. For those that are patient, you will most definitely be rewarded with a cool complexity as this wine ages gracefully.
