Hartford "Three Jacks Vineyard" Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2004

Pale, hazy yellow.

Bright, meal, slight sulfide/truffle, caramel nose. Lemon underneath. Well-delineated.

Intense and nicely concentrated in the mouth, with lemon, caramel and truffle flavors intertwined. Lacks only the depth of flavor and "chew" of the best North Coast Chardonnays. On the other hand, many will prefer this to wines from Marcassin. for instance, for exactly that reason.


$50
