As the summer heat finally turns to cooler fall temperatures, it's a great time to drink Chardonnay, and many have already begun flying off our shelves.

We just took inventory of a few Enkidu wines, which lean heavily into natural winemaking practices, like sustainable farming, native yeasts, zero additives, and minimal intervention. The Sonoma County Chardonnay is made from Russian River and Sangiacomo Vineyard (from Sonoma Carneros) fruit. The wine undergoes barrel fermentation and spends 8 months in French oak (33% new/67% neutral) for mouthfeel and complexity.

The wine shows aromas of warming creme brulee/toasted sugar, with hints of marmalade and white pepper. The wine has a medium weight on the palate, offering up plum, nectarine, and apricot stone fruits, with tropical papaya. The creme brulee carries through to the palate as well as the French oak, and perhaps a touch of bitter citrus peel. The longer the wine opens, the more the fruit develops and takes center stage.

This is a lot of wine for under $20, which has already garnered multiple 90+ point scores. Enjoy by itself or with lighter meats, richer seafoods, buttery, and pesto dishes.
