Hartford Family Winery, founded in 1994 by Don and Jennifer Hartford in Forestville, is a premier Sonoma County estate celebrated for crafting terroir-driven, cool-climate Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and old-vine Zinfandel. Drawing fruit from select coastal and fog-cooled vineyards across the Russian River Valley—including Laguna Ridge, Green Valley, and the Santa Rosa Plain—the Hartford Court Russian River Valley Chardonnay showcases vibrant California richness balanced by crisp coastal acidity.
Crafted from 100% Chardonnay in the acclaimed 2022 vintage, the wine was whole-cluster pressed, barrel-fermented with native yeasts, and aged for 9 months on its lees in French oak barrels (approx. 24% new) with partial malolactic fermentation. Combining lush orchard fruit and citrus brightness with subtle brioche creaminess and mineral tension, it delivers both immediate appeal and classic Sonoma finesse.
