Just showed up. Yes Lyle will kill me whenever we meet - for not letting this sit. Very classy and clean, crunchy, 🍏, green apple, white peach, lemon, 🍋 faint sour underripe raspberry (yes), quite acidic, juicy and drinkable, just 11% and dry. This will over time turn into a textbook example of Kabinett a benchmark wine. Try again in 5 years! 9.4 (for now). — 10 days ago
I used to be a sceptic about the wines from this vineyard not any more! Quite remarkable what Enfield tickles out of this famous vineyard. A new addition for him. Just !!!!! 12.9%!!! Very burgundian in style. Blind I would think this is a top of the line Meursault. Tight - coiled and too young. A baby. Hard to evaluate at this point. Lemon, 🍋, starfruit, faintest hint of toasted hazelnuts. This will be spectacular in time. Just 800 bottles made ~ 3 barrels! Well priced - give it 5-10 years! — 4 days ago
Dark big and tannic. Too extracted for a Chambolle. Can go another 10 years. Excellent flavor profile, tea black mostly, dark cherries, boysenberry, crushed marble. Very very good. 13.5%. — 7 days ago
Better and more costly than the standard red - still not great. — 13 days ago
I tried Enfield‘s Pinot some time ago. A new vineyard for him. This turns out to be a big step up! Just 13.2%. Fruit driven but delicious and so juicy. Cherry 🍒, strawberry, elderberry, hint raspberry - really a fruit bouquet! At the same time nicely balanced with low % and plenty of acid. As this will loose baby fat over time / i expect this to be terrific. As mentioned previously a really good California producer! Who often makes just a couple of barrels from unique vineyards and terroirs. — 7 days ago
Quite peach driven. Needs time, 12.5%. And settle. Revisit in a year. Seems closed. 9.2 for now but i see more potential. — 10 days ago
From Cosco this batch was very good! — 13 days ago

By now it should be clear - I am an Enfield fan. Have been for a long time. This foot treated Rosé is no exception. Sourced from a head trailed vineyard at 3000+ feet aka 1000 Meters. Welcome to the new California! 900 bottles made - get it while you can. Striking color. Incredible juice. Sour Haribo gummibears - the red ones. But seriously - Fresh strawberries the ones which actually have a taste, cranberry, raspberry and lime. Oh man what a treat. An “alpine wine”. 13.2%. If the tarifs will kill us this is consolation. — 4 days ago
