The 2023 Pinot Noir Land's Edge Vineyards is a youthful ruby color and is spicy and bright with notes of wild raspberries, fresh wildflowers, salty earth, hints of anise, and dark stones. The palate is focused, balanced, and even, with a stony texture and fresh acidity, its more savory and smoky incense notes lasting on the finish. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Land’s Edge Vineyards comes from two of Hartford Court’s estate vineyards in western Sonoma County, Seascape and Far Coast. Matured for nine months in 35% new French oak, it has high-toned aromas of raspberry, strawberry, mixed tea leaves, saline and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate is highly concentrated, layered and perfumed with flavors that tick all the boxes: fruit, herbs, earth and spice. It’s structured by velvety tannins, and its bright, mouthwatering acidity lures you back for another sip. 2,132 cases were made.

A mouthwatering, pleasurable, medium-bodied wine. Aromas of dusty roses, red fruit and black tea with pine forest-floor lead to a bright and juicy palate, showing flavors of Bing cherries and pomegranate. Delicious now but will age well. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Land's Edge Vineyards is one of the highlights of this sizable range. Big-boned but more floral and calibrated than the MacLean’s tasted alongside, the Land’s Edge impresses from start to finish as it churns out layers of pressed rose petal, orange zest, red licorice and split pine. The 2023 exudes polish. A brief stay of nine months in barrel yielded a pure, transparent wine that speaks of place.

This coastal Pinot delivers punchy aromas of cranberry, balsamic, forest floor, and violets on the nose. The palate delivers more of those deep, intense flavors, with generous tannin and plush orange peel acidity juicing up the finale.
