Wines From This Vineyard

2022 Hartford Court Fog Dance Vineyard Pinot Noir

96 Points

The 2022 Fog Dance Vineyard Pinot Noir is medium ruby-purple in color. Notes of black raspberries, blood orange, and redcurrant jelly pop from the glass, giving way to nuances of graphite, underbrush, and garrigue. The medium to full-bodied palate is tightly wound and intense, with fantastic tension and super fine-grained tannins, finishing long and savory. Native strains were used for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and the wine is unfined and unfiltered. Fog Dance Vineyard is from a block located on a hillside in Green Valley south of the town of Forestville in an area noted for its nightly fog intrusion.- Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent, April 2024

2023 Hartford Court Fog Dance Vineyard Pinot Noir

97 Points

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Fog Dance is also coming from the Green Valley of the Russian River and pours a more jeweled ruby hue. The nose is more layered and enveloping, with notes of wild raspberries, cherries, fresh sage, violet perfume, and orange citrus, while the palate has more tension and well-defined structure, with ripe tannins, zesty, ripe acidity, and long persistence on the finish. It’s built for the long haul but has a lot to offer now. Drink 2026-2050" - Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, July 2025

2022 Hartford Court Fog Dance Vineyard Chardonnay

96 Points

"The 2022 Fog Dance Vineyard Chardonnay shoots from the glass with energetic notes of grapefruit oil and lemon curd leading to hints of lime cordial, jasmine tea, and white pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers compelling tension with a chalky texture and loads of citrusy sparks on the long finish. This wine was barrel-fermented and aged in French oak. Native strains were used for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and the wine is unfined and unfiltered. Fog Dance Vineyard is from blocks planted to Dijon 96 and ENTAV 809, located on a hillside in Green Valley south of the town of Forestville in an area noted for its nightly fog intrusion" — Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent, April 2024

2023 Hartford Court Fog Dance Vineyard Chardonnay

96 Points

"The 2023 Fog Dance Vineyard Chardonnay waltzes in with showy notes of honeysuckle, candied ginger, and honeydew melon, leading to hints of apple pie and cashew butter. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a decadent oiliness to the texture with concentrated orchard fruit layers and beautifully knit acidity, finishing long with a spicy kick. 212 cases were made." — Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Palate, July 2025

Our Fog Dance Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are from our organically farmed, estate-owned Pinot Noir vineyard on the rolling hills located just to the east of Green Valley Creek in the Russian River Valley. This gorgeous Pinot Noir vineyard was planted in 1996 upon Goldridge fine sandy loam soils to several Dijon clones: 667, 777 and 115.  The stunningly beautiful Chardonnay vineyard was planted in 1998 using Dijon Chardonnay Clone 96 and ENTAV 809.

The Fog Dance Vineyard is thus called because of the dance performed by the Pacific fog, drifting through the vineyards and back again to the sea each day.
