Hartford Family Winery was founded in 1994 as a result of Don and Jennifer Hartford's appreciation for the wines, the people, and the unique vineyards near their Russian River Valley home. Located in the Sonoma County town of Forestville, the winery is about 15 miles from the cool Pacific Coast.
Making delicious wines of high personality is directly related to the difficult locations of our vineyard sources, the limited production of our bottlings and the varietals we use. "Character through adversity" is an expression that we believe applies to people and grapevines and surviving adversity builds character, and personality, in both.
The nose leads with aromas of red and black cherry, pomegranate, and dried rose petal. The layered flavors of dark berries, plum, and licorice lead to a mid-palate with an elegant and polished texture. The wine ends with a lingering mocha and mineral finish.
The 2019 Pinot Noir Land’s Edge Vineyards comes from vines on the Sonoma Coast, about four miles from the Pacific Ocean. Matured 10 months in 36% new French oak, it has a medium ruby-purple color and delicate, slowly opening scents of red berries, tea leaves, conifer, bitters and graphite. The medium-bodied palate is powerful, with deep, broody flavors supported by firm tannins, and it finishes with notable length and latency. Allow it to unwind over the next 3-5 years in bottle. 1,159 cases were made. Erin Brooks
