A Rich and Refined Pinot Noir from Velvet Sisters Vineyard
The JFW Hartford Court Velvet Sisters Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019 embodies the very essence of the Russian River Valley’s unique terroir. With its medium ruby hue, this exquisite Pinot Noir captures the ideal balance of fruit-forward freshness and complex earthy undertones.
On the nose, the wine offers a vibrant bouquet of ripe raspberry, fresh mint, and a touch of menthol, complemented by the warm spice of cinnamon and a hint of quinine. The aroma is both inviting and intriguing, showcasing the wine's careful crafting and the quality of the fruit sourced from the Velvet Sisters Vineyard.
On the palate, this medium-bodied Pinot Noir unfolds with smooth, ripe tannins and a refreshing mineral finish. The wine’s flavours evolve beautifully, with notes of tangy tangerine, rich grenadine, and earthy nuances that give it depth and complexity. The 15 months of ageing in French oak barrels (27% new oak) impart a subtle oak influence, enhancing the wine’s texture and complexity without overshadowing the purity of the fruit.
Unfined and unfiltered, the 2019 Velvet Sisters Pinot Noir offers a natural and unadulterated expression of its vineyard. It is an elegant wine with the structure to age gracefully and the freshness to enjoy now.

Winery | In the Anderson Valley of Mendocino County, the local residents speak an obscure dialect of English known as Boontling, developed in the late 1800s. The "Velvet Sisters" are local historical figures who in Boontling lore became known for wearing plush velvet dresses that they had purchased on a trip to British Columbia. We call this wine "Velvet Sisters" in tribute to the Anderson Valley history and the wine's plush velvety texture. |
