Hartford Court's Far Coast Vineyard is a cool site surrounded by redwood forests, almost two hours north of the Russian River on a Sonoma Coast mountain ridge. It is an area that some call the ‘True Sonoma Coast.’ Others would simply describe the distant vineyard site as ‘the middle of nowhere.’ Far Coast Vineyard sits just south of the town of Annapolis at 800-1000 feet above sea level. The soils at this ridge-top site are well-drained Goldridge sandy loam, which helps to intensify the sense of minerality and focus in the wine produced from this vineyard. This wine was produced from a block planted to Clones 15 and 809. There were 270 cases produced

"A ripe golden hue, the 2021 Chardonnay Far Coast Vineyard offers more broadness right away with its perfume of jasmine, ripe tropical fruit, toasted spice, and apricot. Full-bodied, with a soft viscous texture and notes of honeyed citrus and ripe salted pineapple, it's long on the finish, with a sunny, opulent feel.  It is approachable now or over the next 6-8 years." - July 2023
