Enfield Wine Co.
Heron Lake Vineyard Chardonnay
Doesn’t bowl you over with concentration but Enfield is all about subtlety and balance. Green apple, pear, slightly bitter lemon finish, not a whiff of butter or vanilla or toast in sight

Jun 12th, 2021Mag. My kind of Cali chard. Some oak textural creaminess but no barrel flavor to interfere with the purity of the lemon, golden orchard fruit, crushed stones and acacia honey.

Dec 28th, 2018I say, “Damn!” Consistent with last note, but an extra year makes a positive difference.

Nov 3rd, 2017I literally gave up on domestic Chardonnay...but I love the flavor profile—Tart, juicy Granny Smith and ripe sweet pear. No discernible oak, light crisp acid/ fruit balance and ABV under 13. What a food wine! Every time I pop an Enfield, I congratulate myself on my perspicuity and good sense. It’s not hard to drink well, just ignore the big names and hype.

Jul 13th, 2016Why did it take me so long to try an Enfield white? Acid with a tiny dab of cream, it's electrifying and soothing in a single sip.

Jul 5th, 2016First wine of 16 is one of my favorites from prior years. Salinity, lemon zest, and good acid.
