Country: US / Marin
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Hartford / Marin County
The most Burgundian of the ’99s from Hartford, this cool-climate single-vineyard wine smells of leather, clove, even slightly of barnyard. Some green herbaceousness on the palate balances bright cherry fruit—the interplay of elements gives this wine a multifaceted character that changes from sip to sip. Give it 2–3 years for the tannins to smooth out. Cellar Selection.
