I did recently taste a Hartford chard but I think it was the 2000, not the '99. I thought it was good; apple and then peach-like flavors and not too oaky. I thought it compared favorably to some of the unoaked Australian chards,which I prefer. Even though the same grape is used, I suppose those are really different products than the Californians. I am not aware of the various publications' reviews.

I am not aware of Hartford's reputation for quality and consistency.
