  I am fond of Hartford pinots, but this one was not enjoyable, very tannic with little fruit. It was decanted for about 45 minutes.

  Aging beautifully. Opened up rather quickly, nicely balanced, maturing, integrated fruit, good spice. Fortunately, I've got 2 more to go. In time.

  PNP. Would have benefited a couple hours in the decanter, but no such luck at the mother-in-laws house. Still very approachable with nice flavors of cherry and chocolate covered strawberry and all spice. Medium bodied and smooth, with a decent finish. I think decanting would have really brought out the depth of flavors.

  I have never been disappointed by a Hartford wine and this is no exception. I like all types of wines no matter how the winemaker wants to express the varietal. This is a fruit forward Pinot and a wonderful example of it. Good deep aromas of cherries, plums and dark fruit an intensely dark crimson color and legs that seem to never want to slide down the side of the glass. A great thick mouth feel with tastes of tart cherries and plums and a long sweet finish. The only thing that I think the wine needs is a little more complexity but otherwise outstanding.

  Great pinot with perfect balance of tannin and cherry.
