Hartford Court Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2023 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley tends to balance cool-climate freshness against ripe, generous fruit, and this 2023 bottling from Hartford Court works in that register, a California red grown in one of Sonoma's benchmark Pinot zones. It is a still, dry red made for drinkers who like the grape's lighter frame and perfumed side.

Expert Reviews
The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is also from the Russian River Valley. It’s a bright ruby color and boasts a seductive perfume with notes of fresh leather, ripe cherries, sweet spices, and forest earth. The palate is medium-framed and has a focused and bright feel, with refreshing, mouthwatering acidity, ripe tannins, and a gently tapering, spiced finish. Drink 2026-2040. (Jeb Dunnuck, July 2025)
A lush and pleasurable wine with aromas of red roses and baking spices and flavors of juicy red fruit. A full-bodied pinot with silky tannins, a rich and satisfying finish and pleasant bitter orange rind at the end. Drink now. (James Suckling, September 2025)
The 2023 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is composed of fruit from Hartford Court's estate vineyards plus purchased fruit. Matured for nine months in 28% new French oak, it has layered aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, graham cracker, tobacco, tea leaves and forest floor. The full-bodied palate features concentrated, spicy flavors framed by grainy tannins and juicy acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish. 9,000 cases were made. (Wine Advocate, October 2025)
