Taking a darker and savory tone aromatically, the 2021 Chardonnay Fog Dance Vineyard is a youthful yellow with a tinge of silver and lifts with notes of salty earth, hay, lime leaf, and mango skin aromas. This medium-bodied Chardonnay is ripe up front, with juicy melon followed by a nice spine of lemon-lime citrus on the finish and a more persistent sense of acidity. Give it another year and drink 2024-2032.

Barrel fermented and matured for 14 months in 13% new French oak, the 2021 Chardonnay Fog Dance Vineyard has a unique expression that’s both exotic and precise. It opens with gregarious scents of candied peaches, orange blossoms, honey and cashews. The palate pairs concentrated layers of spicy peach and tropical citrus fruit with tangy, laser-like acidity, and it has a very long, shimmery finish. - Erin Brooks
