A fitting relationship as both H\u0026amp;C and Enfield know the potential for wine to tell an amazing story. John Lockwood’s story is one of focus and the value of meandering into what you love. Having been exposed to wine farming as a teenager, John had an early start in appreciating the full process from vine to bottle. A stint as a guitar builder, brought him to California, via Oakland. After working a few harvests at producers such as Littorai and Failla starting in 2004, wine became a passion. It was in 2010 while at Failla that he and his wife, Amy Seese, started the Enfield project, which he pursued full time in 2013.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHis method is to partner with small growers from California's renowned heritage sites in Napa, Sonoma and beyond. The independent growers can change each year because the intention is to make the best wines they can with the fruit from their trusted growers, but never the “perfect wine,” its about the best story. Lockwood's dedication to his craft is evident in Enfield's wines, which are considered some of the best of the New California movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Merk Vineyard is in the Carmel Valley of the Central Coast growing region in California. This is a valley with a mild climate, sandy soils and coastal air nestled below Monterey. Whole cluster fermentation provides structure.
