The family makes Four Hearts Vineyards Chardonnay from vineyards located in distinct regions of the Russian River Valley AVA. These vineyards average over 40 years old and are planted with very diverse Chardonnay clonal selections that include old Wente, Sees, Rued and Arrendell field selections. These field selections are harvested and fermented separately and only the best barrels from each lot are blended to create the final cuvée. The 2020 Hartford Court Four Hearts Chardonnay has a weighty texture with spicy, layered flavors, and finishes with a brightness that reflects the cool climate origins of the vineyards that comprise this blend. All wines are barrel fermented in French oak, and complete full malolactic fermentation with regular lees stirring.
