NEVER BEFORE SOLD MAGNUM from the winery’s library, these wines come from their flagship vineyard and are their most sought after and expensive wines.

Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel: Plumy, thick and delicious – that’s what we have to say about this wine. We could talk about the amazing balance and how cool it is that the alcohol can push 17% but you wouldn’t even know it ‘cause of the intense concentration.

Here’s what world-renowned wine critic Robert Parker said about the wine:
2000 Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel – 93 points
The immense 2000 Zinfandel Hayne Vineyard (550 cases; 16.7% alcohol) possesses great texture and intensity, in addition to a dense opaque garnet color, and a sweet, concentrated blackberry and raspberry-scented bouquet with hints of pepper, earth, and wood. This is a wine of enormous fruit, body, and palate-staining extract. It should drink well for a decade. The 2000 appears to be slightly more restrained and elegant than previous renditions of this blockbuster Zinfandel.
