2009 Hartford Court Arrendell Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.7% alc., ph 3.46, TA 0.61, 300
cases, $85. Planted by Dutton in 1975 with Martini heirloom selections. More recently, Dijon clones have been
added. Struggles to ripen less than 1 ton per acre by Halloween. The winery’s flagship wine.
·
Layers of
aromatic interest offering scents of black cherries, kirsch, spice and oak. Soft and luscious on the palate with
mouth coating flavors of black raspberries lingering on a well-endowed, memorable Grand Cru finish.
Relatively soft tannins create a sleekness but keep the fruit in line, while a bright cut of acidity adds vibrancy.
A very special wine of character. Very good (++).

2007 Hartford Court Arrendell Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc..
·
Deep, dark reddishpurple
color in the glass. Love the nose and keep going back. Vivid and penetrating dark Pinot fruits with a
little oak riff. Luscious plum and deep berry fruit with a slight sweetness. Flavors of oak, tar and smoke add
interest. Smooth in the mouth with a slight watered-down tone on the finish which leaves a little heat in its
wake. Good.
