Traditionally a Spanish grape, Tempranillo has thrived in the rocky blue schist and quartz soils at the famed Shake Ridge Ranch. Only 1.4 acres are planted to this variety and the fruit is organically farmed and cared for by expert vineyard manager and Shake Ridge Ranch proprietor, Ann Kraemer. This medium-bodied wine is somewhat restrained and benefits from decanting which will help open up the complex notes of plum, tobacco, and look for a satisfying minerality on the finish. While it benefits from oak aging, this isn't the dried out style that turns me off about so many of the expressions from Spain. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.125 cases produced.
Lockwood’s journey took him from a guitar repair shop to a relatively remote vineyard in eastern Napa before he landed with Ehren Jordan at the venerable Failla Wines. It was through his work there, managing crucial vineyard relationships throughout Northern California, that he decided to start Enfield Wine Co. as a small side project. By 2013, he was ready to commit full-time to the brand and we’re all luckier for it. His wines are consistently praised by critics, sommeliers, and enthusiasts alike for being incredibly fresh yet not lacking any seriousness whatsoever. In the end, Enfield showcases wines capable of drinking today, tomorrow, and for many years to come.
