Hartford Court Land's Edge Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021 Rated 93JD

Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 93
A rich ruby/purple, the 2021 Pinot Noir Land's Edge Vineyards is ripe and rounded with a perfume of blackberry preserve, damp forest floor, and toasted baking spice. Full-bodied, but with clean lift and without weight, it has dark berries, candied flowers, sweet, ripe tannins, and a soft texture. This is an immediate wine, but it has good freshness and the structure to drink over the next 4-5 years.

Hartford Court Land's Edge Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2021

Vibrant. Coastal. A beautifully expressive Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir shaped by fog, wind, and rugged maritime terrain.
Land's Edge Vineyard sits at the far western edge of Sonoma County, where cool Pacific breezes and steep coastal slopes create ideal conditions for slow?ripening Pinot Noir. Hartford Court's 2021 vintage captures the site's signature intensity—bright red fruit, coastal spice, and refined structure—crafted with the winery's hallmark precision and elegance.
