2007 Hartford Court Pinot Noir
Jennifer's, Russian River Valley
Tasting Notes
Jennifer’s Pinot Noir is opaque and powerful. It features violets, blackberry and boysenberry in the nose and
on the palate. It is ripe, dense and solid with fine tannins and a silky mouth-feel. French oak imparts flavors
of white chocolate and roasted coffee to the finish. Due to the challenges of farming in such a cold and
windy site, Jennifer’s is only made in the best vintages.
Acclaim
92 Points - "Deep red. Seductive aromas of black raspberry, patchouli, dried rose and minerals. Graceful red and dark berry flavors are strikingly pure, with candied floral and mineral qualities adding complexity. Finishes with excellent clarity and lingering floral and spice notes." - Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar, May 2009

Vineyard Characteristics
Named in honor of co-proprietor Jennifer Jackson-Hartford, this wine is defined by its power,
concentration of fruit and structure. A wine that is built to age, Jennifer’s proves that not all Pinot Noirs are
shy, retiring, delicate souls. Jennifer’s Pinot is sourced from vineyards in the Sebastopol Hills region of the
Russian River Valley AVA – smack-in-the-middle of the windy and very cool, Petaluma Wind Gap. .e
dark color and intense black fruit aroma and flavor profile are a testament to the terroir of this site.
