Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel
2018, Napa Valley, California, USA
About the Wine
The Hayne Vineyard is one of our most exceptional sites. Located in an idyllic, warm, yet breezy spot on the west side of St. Helena, we are honored to have worked with this vineyard and the Hayne family for over twenty-six years. The property has been in the same family since 1876, and the head-trained, dry-farmed Zinfandel vines, planted in 1902 and 1903, produce wines of power and elegance. Year after year, this wine serves as the archetype for Zinfandel and Napa Valley. This wine is crafted from old vines in the Hayne Vineyard, which lends to its deep, concentrated flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earth. It is a beautifully balanced Zinfandel with a strong structure that is suitable for aging.
Tasting Notes
Full-bodied with ripe blackberry, raspberry, and plum flavors, complemented by notes of black pepper, spice, and hints of vanilla. The wine is rich yet balanced, with a long finish.
Pairing Notes
Grilled meats, especially lamb, and rich dishes with spices.
