2007 Hartford Court Pinot Noir
Land's Edge Vineyards, Sonoma Coast
Tasting Notes
Complex aromas of ripe cherries, violets and cedar are followed by flavors of perfectly ripe, firm black
cherries and mixed red and black berries. Allspice and coffee notes complement a long, multi-faceted finish
in this "True Sonoma Coast" Pinot Noir.

Vineyard Character
Land’s Edge Pinot Noir is sourced predominately from our estate’s Annapolis vineyard, located in the
Sonoma Coastal Mountain Range – north of the Russian River, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Because
there is only one cascading ridge between the ocean and the vineyard, Annapolis vineyard and other estate
owned vineyards located at ‘Land’s Edge’, such as Seascape vineyard, are so cold that miniscule crops of
Pinot Noir are often picked here in November. This cool and often foggy, coastal climate preserves natural
acidity in the grapes and helps delineate the purity of fruit flavors and expression of the unique, yet firm
coastal terroir in this wine. Balanced acidity, layers of complexity and firm tannins will allow for long and
graceful aging of Land’s Edge Vineyards Pinot Noir.
