95/100 points Parker, 93/100 Wine spectator 96/100 Wine Enthusiast The 2017 Pinot Noir Seascape Vineyard from the Sonoma Coast shows opulence and power, lots of mulberry and cranberry fruit as well as earthy notes, graphite, licorice and damp forest floor. Rich, concentrated and medium to full-bodied, it shows the focused style of the vintage and a harmonious fruit to structure ratio. The cellar will be your friend with this wine, it is packed with good potential. 95 Parker points - Production: only 1878 bottles. - My experience: On the first day, it is complex, with typical Pinot Noir aromas: red fruits and lots of herbs. On the second day it has developed excellently and shows its full volume with lots of red fruits and a long finish. Hartford Family Winery was founded in 1994 because Don and Jennifer Hartford appreciated the wines, the people and the unique vineyards near their home in the Russian River Valley. Located in the town of Forestville in Sonoma County, the winery is about 15 miles from the cool Pacific coast.Wines with personality:Producing delicious wines with great personality is directly related to the difficult vineyard sites, limited bottling production and grape varietals used. "Character through adversity" is an expression that applies to both people and vines, and surviving adversity strengthens the character and personality of both.Single Vineyards and Limited BottlingsThe Hartford Family Winery specializes in producing single vineyard wines. In recent vintages, they have produced about 25 different bottlings of single vineyard wines. Small and low-yielding vineyards produce wines that are expressive and full of character. Their Hartford Court Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from single vineyard sites range from as few as 93 cases to as many as 800 cases. Our Hartford Old Vine Zinfandels are also produced in small quantities. Our single vineyard wines are strictly limited.
