Tasting notes
The 2016 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard is spectacular, bursting from the glass with a captivating bouquet in which aromas of rose petals, ripe cherries and wild berries mingle with nuances of spice and coniferous forest floor. Full-bodied, satiny and expansive on the palate, it's multidimensional, succulent and juicy, with amazing weightless intensity, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. To my palate, this wine's singular personality makes it one of the most distinctive produced in California.

The 2016 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard hits the palate with serious depth and pure power. Black cherry, plum, lavender and licorice give the wine its distinctive brooding flavor profile. Huge swaths of supporting tannin extend the finish in this huge, explosive Zinfandel. Suggestions of lavender, menthol, pine and violet add the closing shades of complexity. I was not at all surprised to learn that winemaker Tegan Passalacqua planned to give the Hayne three additional months in barrel, as the wine needs it.
