Hardford Court Four Hearts Vineyards 2009

Winemaker Tasting Notes: The 2009 Four Hearts Vineyards Chardonnay leads with aromas of white flowers, tangerine and lemon drop. Layered flavors of stone fruit, yellow apple and baking spices are complemented by a rich and weighty mid-palate and a mineral-driven finish. "The 2009 Chardonnay Four Hearts Vineyard sees less new oak than its two siblings. It reveals elegant tropical fruit, citrus oil, pear and white peach notes in a medium to full-bodied, crisp, zesty style. It can be enjoyed over the next 4-5 years." - Robert Parker, Jr., Robert Parker's Wine Advocate,, February 2011
