14.1% abv. Recent auction purchase (single bottle lot). Strong perfume on the nose which carried through to the palate. Loads of flavor. Plenty of acidity, maybe a bit too tart, as it sticks out a bit. Still, this was pretty enjoyable and interesting. Probably not worth holding on too much longer.

Alive and kicking. Hartford does Pinot Noir really well. would never be able to tell that this is 12 years old. Stored properly since purchase from winery. All of the Hartford wines seem to age gracefully...

A light bodied pinot. A bit sharp initially and then softens to a nice, soft finish. Typical pinot nose, but finish has sweet honey and fig and perhaps a hint of cedar. Not as big as some of the Oregon monsters but a more typical fragile entry from Sonoma. Drinking OK now--might have missed its window

Really beautiful wine...so delicate with fruit forward and floral but then great mid and finish of honey
