Hartford Family Winery Russian River Valley Zinfandel 2023 Review

The Hartford family produces over two dozen different wines, and about half a dozen of them are Zinfandels. This says a lot about the family’s love for this variety. This expression from the Russian River Valley offers coffee and cranberry notes on the nose with a dollop of oak. The palate is even and refreshing with a salty minerality that helps contrast the ripe fruit.
