Had the delicious privilege of introducing a dear friend to this wine. Changed his whole perspective on shit. "Wow...what is this again and where can I buy it?" @Hardy Wallace you've done it again. — 7 years ago
Once I stopped wanting this to be Muscadet (much lower acidity) or Ramato Pinot Gris (not nearly the tannin/phenolic structure) I really enjoyed this. It's a much quieter and more nuanced 'orange' wine, rewarding close attention and time taken. Lots of development over 3 days, and I'm curious where this is in another year or two. Thanks @Hardy Wallace ! — 8 years ago

Couldn't pass up writing on this one, which I think we tasted in the egg. Very well balanced, glad the oak is muted, dare I say a very un-California Chardonnay? Salmon, quiche, etc....I wish we had gobs more to open in years to come. Hardy, any library wines? — 8 years ago

When I heard Levi Dalton interview @John Lockwood of @enfieldwineco there was the same excitement in his voice as @Hardy Wallace about discovering special vineyards. It was destiny that they'd make a wine together. Now I get to be the excited one. #PinotNoir #Mourvèdre #ChaloneAVA #MontereyCounty #AntleVineyard — 8 years ago

2013: Lovely mix of black, suggestive of blue, fruit; Italianate feel - savoury, woody herb but medium bodied. Easy drinking. — 9 years ago

Just got this in a very favorable (to me) barter agreement! Love what the Adelaide Hills are doing with this variety! — 10 years ago

A little better than the ratings suggest, I think this is better due to the age. Difficult to pick out the different components, but I think this has some interesting layers to it. Would have been better with a bit more grenache blanc for my tastes, but a nice wine (absolutely terrible pairing with some terrific scallops, though!). — 7 years ago
