Hartford Family Winery, located in the heart of the Russian River Valley, is renowned for its small-lot, high-quality wines. The Hartford Zinfandel from the Russian River Valley is a testament to the region's ability to produce exceptional Zinfandel wines. This wine is crafted from old vine Zinfandel grapes, which contribute to its rich and concentrated flavor profile. The Russian River Valley's cool climate allows for a longer growing season, resulting in a wine with balanced acidity and ripe fruit flavors. The wine is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels, which adds complexity and a subtle oak influence. Expect flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and a hint of spice, with a smooth, velvety texture. This Zinfandel pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
