The 2019 Pinot Noir Arrendell Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1975, which have been part of the Hartford Court program since 1994. It spent 15 months in 43% new French oak and is a touch reductive to begin, opening to dark berries and kirsch with tones of mushroom, iodine and tar. The medium-bodied palate is firm and broody, with intense, earthy fruits, loads of grainy tannins, seamless acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish. It's the most youthfully coiled Pinot in the lineup of Hartford's 2019s, so give it plenty of time to unwind in bottle or a long decant. 164 cases were made.
