Winemaker Notes: The 2022 vintage, one of Hartford Court's earliest harvests on record, gave them wines with precision and concentration. The Chardonnay has great elegance and bright acidity from the fruit harvested in August, with the fruit harvested in September giving more ripe fruit and richness.

"The 2022 Jennifer's Chardonnay pops from the glass with vibrant notes of fresh pineapple, honeydew melon, and lemongrass with suggestions of wet pebbles and fresh ginger plus a waft of lime blossom. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers amazing tension, with super-intense tropical and citrus fruit flavors, finishing long and zesty...Jennifer’s Chardonnay is sourced from a dramatic, steep-sloped vineyard in the windy and very cool Sebastopol Hills neighborhood of the Russian River Valley AVA. The block was planted to Old Wente selection Chardonnay in 2005...." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent, April 2024

Aromatic and generous, with notes of pineapple upside-down cake, ripe and fleshy peaches as well as a whiff of salted butterscotch. Vibrant, crisp acidity keeps the flavors balanced and focused. Long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2030. 255 cases made.

This citrus lover's dream of a Chardonnay is punchy and focused, with aromas of bright lemon and tangerine, lemon balm, and orange blossom on the nose. The palate is fresh and racy giving pithy lemon-lime, chalk and white flowers along a mouthwatering finish. — Tom R. Capo
