About the Winery:
Hartford Family Winery was founded in 1994 as a result of Don and Jennifer Hartford’s appreciation for the wines, the people, and the unique vineyards near their Russian River Valley home. Located in the Sonoma County town of Forestville, the winery is about 15 miles from the cool Pacific Coast.
Their 80-100 year old Zinfandel vineyards are irreplaceable treasures. They source the Russian River Valley Zinfandel from some of the oldest Zinfandel vineyards in California. The complexity and depth of flavors from these vineyards produce the most consistently bold and unctuous Zinfandels found anywhere.
Tasting Notes:
The Hartford Russian River Valley Zinfandel is showing aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, black cherry which are highlighted with hints of white pepper and allspice. Blueberry, red raspberry, nutmeg, and mocha flavors lead into a long, bright finish with supple tannins.
Ratings & Reviews
94 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2021):"Forget the heavy, chocolaty Zins you may have drunk before, this one is all freshness and lift without sacrificing the fabulous wild blackberries, sage and raspberries for which California's heritage grape is famous. While full-bodied, it feels vibrant, well-balanced and ready to pair with most any meat or poultry entree." - Jim Gordon (Mar 2024)
