"The 2011 Hartford Court Russian River Valley Chardonnay offers subtle aromas of jasmine flower and Crenshaw melon complemented by fresh kiwi, pineapple, white peach and Pippin apple flavors. The supple and complex, fruit focused mid-palate is followed by subtle mineral notes and a hint of cinnamon in the finish."

"Bright yellow. Pungent aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, saffron and mint, with an underpinning of smoky minerals. Dusty citrus and apple flavors are complemented by a sexy floral quality and enlivened by zesty minerality. Finishes with excellent clarity and stony thrust, the floral note repeating. This taut, dry, deeply concentrated chardonnay should age gracefully."
