92 Points Vinous
The 2024 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) really overdelivers. It’s an ideal expression of the Russian River Valley, with all the bright, sunny orchard fruit and spritzy citrus lift you could hope for, but also an extra measure of freshness and juiciness that leaves the mouth watering. Notably restrained, the 2024 shows excellent finesse, especially for an appellation-level bottling.
Winemaker Notes
The 2024 Hartford Court Russian River Valley Chardonnay reveals layered aromas of vibrant citrus, crisp green apple, and nectarine, accented by delicate hints of mango and pineapple. The palate is refined and harmonious, balancing ripe fruit with subtle spice and a whisper of flint minerality. Graceful acidity carries through to a long, luxurious finish.
