Hartford Court Pinot Noir Arrendell Vineyard 1998
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesOpen smoky bacon aromas with raspberry/cranberry fruit. Softer rounder version of the Marin county label with a little bit better fruit component. There are still some dry and bitter tannins in the finish that need another year to dissipate. Solid if unspectacular pinot, obviously suffering from the poor, cool '98 harvest.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $118.00 | 750ml | Speculative - Vinterra Wine Merchants |
