2015 Enfield Wine Co. Pinot Noir Antle Vineyard

Estate: Enfield Wine Co.
Region: Chalone, Central Coast, California, United States of America
Vineyard: Antle Vineyard

Tasting Note:May 5, 2017

Fun tasting at Weygandt Wines with John Lockwood. The third of four wines being poured.

Medium garnet red with a ruby core. A bit singular to start with a medium intensity floral attack. After a few minutes in the class, red berries carried throughout and the floral notes morphed into a spiced finish or white pepper. Medium tannins (5/10) and medium acidity (6/10) on the palate. Light body and fresh. Lots of red berries on the palate; strawberries, raspberries and a touch of rhubarb. Stoney notes and acidity carry from the mid palate through the long and lingering finish.

This wine is made up of 100% Pinot Noir. 50% whole cluster and aged in neutral hogshead barrels (350L) for 12 months. Only 4 barrels produced
