Sourced from the elevated Far Coast Vineyard near the Pacific Ocean, it combines concentrated dark fruit with freshness, mineral precision and refined structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine opens with an expressive bouquet of dark cherries, pomegranate and blackberries, layered with hints of cola, Asian spices, coffee and subtle mineral tones. With air, it reveals further nuances of dried flowers, forest floor and delicate maritime notes, reflecting its cool, coastal origin.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with flavours of ripe cherry, black plum and woodland berries balanced by lively acidity and pronounced mineral character. Silky tannins provide shape without overpowering the fruit, while the long, elegant finish brings lingering floral and spicy nuances. As a 2013 vintage, it should now offer attractive maturity when well stored, while carefully preserved bottles may continue to develop additional savoury complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar Coast Vineyard lies in a demanding, elevated section of the West Sonoma Coast, where cool temperatures, persistent Pacific fog and maritime exposure extend the growing season and help preserve acidity in the grapes. These conditions encourage Pinot Noir with intensity, freshness and depth. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this vintage are not provided, but the wine’s profile reflects the concentration and precision associated with this distinctive coastal single-vineyard site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly cool, around 14–16°C, to highlight the wine’s freshness and aromatic detail. It pairs beautifully with roast duck, game birds, herb-crusted lamb, mushroom dishes, truffle pasta and richly flavoured salmon. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended, particularly if the bottle is initially reserved, while older or fragile bottles are best opened carefully and served soon after settling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHartford Court is known for expressive, small-production wines that emphasise the character of individual sites across Sonoma County.
