The 2024 Hartford Court Russian River Chardonnay is a rich yet balanced California white from Sonoma County, showing ripe pear, white peach and lemon with citrus blossom, vanilla and subtle toasted oak.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and textured, with bright acidity balancing ripe stone fruit, citrus and gentle creamy oak characters. The finish is dry, rounded and persistent, with a fine mineral edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Chardonnay drinkers who enjoy generous fruit, texture and subtle oak influence. Best enjoyed over the next 4–7 years. Serve lightly chilled with butter-poached lobster, roast chicken with thyme, seared scallops with brown butter or corn and ricotta ravioli.
