"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
