Hartford Court Fog Dance Vineyard Chardonnay 2019

The 2019 Chardonnay Fog Dance Vineyard was barrel fermented and matured for 14 months in 19% new French oak. Shy to begin, it unfurls to scents of lemon, lime and candied orange, plus accents of iodine and saline, an alluring introduction to the expansive, textural, full-bodied palate. It surprises with its intense, juicy fruits, dynamic flavors and extended, concentrated finish. It’s a rare combination of hedonism and energy that will offer dynamic expression as it matures over the next decade in bottle. Drink date: 2023-2033. Score – 94.
