Hartford Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2000

Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, United StatesHartford's Sonoma Coast chardonnay is comprised of individual lots that fail to make its very best labels, which is good news for bargain hunter chardonnay drinkers who like big time appellation fruit. The 2000 Sonoma Coast mixes single vineyard Russian River and Green Valley fruit with a handful of growers along the Russian River and the southern edges of Sonoma Coast including batches from Durrell and Dutton Ranch Vineyards. Look for quite a leesy Burgundian style white wine (fermented in 1090 per cent French oak) with exotic fruit aromas of tangerine, lemons, citrus fruit and green apple skin flavours. Classy California chardonnay.Tasted: 16 June 2002Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
