The 2020 Hartford Court Russian River Valley Chardonnay is sourced from a collection of small vineyards located throughout the Russian River Valley AVA. These vineyards are a combination of our Estate properties such as Jennifer’s, Fog Dance, Bellflower, and Arrendell as well as a handful of our neighbors’ vineyards located in the heart of the Russian River Valley. The sites express the essence of the Russian River Valley by showcasing the best of the sub-regions within our AVA: Middle Reach – Ripe fruits, honeysuckle, and jasmine characters; Green Valley – Citrus, lemon drop candy, and green apple aromas and flavors; Laguna Ridge – Baked apple and pear, layered texture, crystallized ginger finish; Sebastopol Hills – Bright citrus oil aromatics with focused acidity and lemon-lime flavors; Santa Rosa Plains - Rich citrus and apple aromas with round, long texture; Each sub-region brings complexity and character to the final blend.
