Hartford Court Chardonnay Three Jacks Vineyard 2015

From a site farmed by the Dutton family, this wine is beautifully aromatic in brioche and honey apple, with light toasted oak playing a supporting part. An underlying richness presents as expansive and fleshy on the robust palate, with high-toned offerings of peach and Gravenstein apple.

The Chardonnay Three Jacks Vineyard comes from the cooler Green Valley region of the Russian River Valley and was fermented and aged 16 months in 30% new French oak. It has a deeper, darker, slightly more earthy and mineral-laced style in its stone fruits, brioche, honeysuckle, and hazelnut aromas and flavors. It's deep, rich, and powerful, with beautiful depth of fruit and a thrilling finish.
