From Hartford's "lesser" label (as opposed to the more expensive Hartford Court), this is a delicious Pinot Noir that bathes the nose in earthy ripe cherries, jammy strawberries, Cassis, and subtle herbs. In the mouth there is even more depth than the nose suggests, with darker berries, bittersweet herbs, and burnt toast nuances. Lengthy finish also, with just a hint of bitterness in the tannin. - HK 2003-06-21
