A ton of dark fruit, admittedly this is starting to show its age with some earthy notes on finnish , however it is not over yet as acidity is still decent

Absolutely singing right out of the bottle. Dark cherry liqueur with a hint of pipe tobacco.

Wow! An excellent Pinot from Sonoma RR. Dark cherries, blueberries, and with a whiff of bay leaf and anise on the back end. A really unique and sophisticated California Pinot. I really enjoyed it. For Chardonnay and Pinot cannot go wrong with Hartford Court.

Extreme Hedonism in a glass, almost Caymus (which I do not care for)-like. Immensely opaque, Rhone nose. With air, lightly spiced blackberry and blueberry emerge. Big, big delicious CA pinot noir, fruit taming the alcohol with enough structure to easily hold for 4 or 5 more years. OR pinot purists will turn their noses at this over-blown style.

I really like this. A little high in alcohol for my taste but not obtrusive. Good black and blue fruit and distinctive minerality on the finish. In a great place at the moment but probably will stay on the plateau for 3 years or possibly more.

Dark black cherry, forest floor, pepper, earth, and spice. The darkest profile of the Pinots tasted. Medium bodied, with some booze on the back end that pulls you away from the core fruit just a bit. A subtle power that hasn’t yet fully integrated into a total seamlessness in the delivery. Needs another year to chill out, but otherwise a nice example of a darker, more earth-driven Pinot. Hold for another year.

Tasted at the tasting room. 313 cases made. Medium purple with light aromas of red cherry and sour raspberries. Dry with medium tannins. Decent acid and fair balance. Flavors of black cherry and cranberry. Long finish.
