WTN: Old Vines…sat on their park bench like bookends

[David M. Bueker]

• 2021 Enfield Wine Co. Chardonnay Old Vines Haynes Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley, Coombsville (10/22/2024)
  Peach infused mineral water with a lemon zest twist. Refreshing, engaging and mouthwatering.

Love the title. But I don't especially like peaches in my chardonnay, I'm having a hard time picturing this.

[David M. Bueker]

The peach was surprising. Not usually a feature of that wine. Maybe a riper vintage. I’m not sure.

[Jenise]

Peach is something I associate with grapes like marsanne and godello, not chardonnay. But the thickest zinfandel I've ever had in my life came from Haynes, so maybe that's it.

Zin? That sounds like Hayne Vineyard, rather than Haynes.

Haynes is a Syrah, Pinot, Chard site.

Hayne has Zin and Petite Sirah.

Ah...merci! I've never grokked that there are two similarly-named.

[David M. Bueker]

It confused the heck out of me for a while.
