2015 Enfield Wine Co. White Wine "on Skins" Brosseau Vineyard

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


Tasting Note:May 5, 2017

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

Definitely unfiltered and medium to deep yellow. A little floral on the nose with some dirt and honeycombs. Love the mouthfeel and texture, balanced tannins (5.5/10) and acidity (6/10). Dark citrus notes with some hay. Packs a punch with a medium plus body. Just as John says "this wine is like rock and roll". A slight zing in the long finish.


This wine is made up of 60% Chenin Blanc and the rest of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier. Aged for 16 months in neutral oak on the lees.
