About this wine
HARTFORD COURT Sevens Bench Chardonnay
Intensive farming and low yields are the foundations of our Carneros Chardonnay offering. The two blocks farmed for this wine are on a bench with classic Haire Clay Loam soils, and on a ridge at 200-foot elevation, part of an uplifted riverbed that allows good drainage in the traditional clay-based soils of the region.
The name Sevens Bench is derived from the historical name for our Carneros Pinot Noir and one of the clones planted on Hartford Court’s blocks: Clone 27 (Mount Eden). The other field selections are Calera, Batto and Entav 809. The Carneros AVA produces Chardonnay with beautiful lemon drop characters and a rich, unctuous mouthfeel.

Erin Brooks
The 2019 Chardonnay Sevens Bench Vineyard was barrel fermented and matured for 14 months in 38% new French oak. It offers pure, delicate tones of brioche and toast, lemon drops, beeswax, chamomile and green herbs with an underpinning of shimmery crushed stone character. Tangy and focused to begin, it unfurls from preserved lemon to plusher, perfumed orchard fruits, and it finishes with tremendous length and energy—this is a great candidate for the cellar. 260 cases were made.

The 2019 Chardonnay Sevens Bench Vineyard is a touch more savory on the nose, with crushed rock, light toast, and lemon verbena. The palate is fresh with salty ripe lemon and has a long finish that shows off subtle baking spice and custard. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.
