Fog Dance Vineyard

"Pale lemon-gold color, the 2014 Fog Dance Vineyard Blanc de Noirs slowly emerges with evocative scents of Red Delicious apples, rose bud tea, crunchy pears, and croissant, leading to hints of red cherries and marzipan. The palate is surprisingly intense with red berry and cherry flavors and a crisp backbone supported by a very fine mousse, finishing long and fantastically pure. This was disgorged in August 2024. It has 0 grams per liter of dosage. Only 90 cases were made." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Palate, July 2025

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

"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

"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

"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
